Navy Times: Navy strike group commander fired for viewing porn at work
The San Diego-based commanding officer of Pacific Fleet's carrier strike group training command has been relieved following allegations that he used his government computer to access pornography.
Rear Adm. Rick Williams was fired by 3rd Fleet boss Vice Adm. Nora Tyson on Friday "based on the initial findings of an ongoing investigation into the alleged misuse of government computer equipment," the Navy said in a release.
During a routine inspection, Williams was found to have looked at pornographic images on his government computer, violating Navy rules, said a Navy source familiar with the incident. The misuse of the computer did not involve any classified material and the investigation is ongoing, the source added.

I wonder if this is not also a convoluted message to Hillary about the future.
Interesting people in a sordid situation.
A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Vice Admiral Nora Tyson graduated from Vanderbilt University and received her commission from Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island.
Rear Adm. Rick Williams is a native of Pittsford, New York, and earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the Rochester Institute of Technology. He was commissioned through Navy ROTC as a surface warfare officer in June 1984.
I like the "vice admiral" part. Seems fitting.
I blame the president, congress and the citizens.
Hari Seldon would too.
"....the Commander of the US Navy’s Carrier Strike Group 15, Rear Admiral Rick Williams, posted a “pointed” query on 8 January [since deleted] to the US Naval Institute’s “Readiness Kill Chain” “recipients/responders” list as to why Navy security and intelligence personal had been dispatched from Naval Support Facility Thurmont (aka Camp David) to Dubai on what he termed an “Obama house hunting mission”."
