Let that appease the public and the Navy all while you kind of say, don't look over here while we administratively punish these people on the namesake of good order and discipline and accountability. No, sailors are tired of it. And they're going to need to evolve back to Gen Z to be relevant to what this generation expects as they enter the workforce and are the larger dominant part of it now.
We've got to change everything. We're going to change everything. They're going to demand radical transparency just like the American public's demanding it now. And I don't mean operationally. We shouldn't tell of our top secret stuff. But how we handle these types of things, we have to be more radically transparent.
And if you don't, if they don't, if they fail to evolve, you're going to have more guys like me sit in this chair calling them out. Yeah.
How are they coming after you this time? It's good. So there's another administrative instruction out there that somebody signed at some point that probably was started for a very good reason. Just like we talked about risk management last time, great intentions turned into a military process, oftentimes subvert the very intent behind the idea from the beginning.
So they found this instruction that says basically if you submit for retirement within two years of substantiated allegations as part of an investigation against you, they can send you to an independent board for a pay grade determination.
So in other words, they can demote me in retirement, all administratively, simply because we're within a two-year window from that NETC investigation being finalized. Now, the problem here is that you could interpret that instruction a couple different ways. The way I think you should interpret it is that was not a credible investigation.
Congress's words, grossly unethical, lacked investigative integrity. So to say that that investigation represents credible allegations against me and Eric Ramey, well, that's false. That's the whole reason the whole thing got dropped. But yet you're using that because I filed for retirement and they said, well, we're going to pursue this board anyway.
We're just, Brad, we're following the instruction as we're supposed to. And we're trusting the process.
And I know that they're subjectively targeting me because one of my other peers was just part of a whole other investigation. He just submitted retirement and got it approved. So they're arbitrarily picking me which shows us that, okay, you're making a deliberate choice here. You clearly did not like what we've done and how we've handled this, and you're intent on finding a way to get to me.
They just can't stop. It's like, help me help you, man. Like, please. I mean, why don't they just want it to end?
Yeah, I'm not sure, actually, because you're supposed to get the higher three average when you retire, so whatever pay averaged out for the last three years. So even if you demote me in rank, I don't know if it affects the pay exactly. So it could be a nothing burger, but still, it's them. It's a black eye.
It's a black eye, and they're trying to do it out of spite, I think, when I know that they didn't have to, and they don't have to.
Well, and the funny thing, too, is they've dragged this thing out for so long. March 24th, next month, we hit the two years from that investigation. So all we did was, hey, pull my retirement, cancel it. I'm going to resubmit it on March 25th. That exceeds your statute of limitations. I get to retire as a captain. So there's a mechanism.
We're working through it, but it just exposes their intent to the fact that they can't let go, and they just keep trying these things. So Admiral Cheeseman.
So what we heard through the news is that the Navy told Regina Mullen that new information had come to light, and that's all they would tell her on why they canceled our BOI. We don't know what the near-affirmation is.
We have suspicions based on our demand that they test the drugs, the vials of alleged drugs, right, that who knows what was in them, what kind of contaminants, who knows the purity, who knows what drugs were even in them or not in them. We suspect that might have been in the calculus there in getting our whole thing dropped, but we don't know for sure. Other than that, we haven't heard too much.
What are we missing? I mean, that's the majority of what they've done since then. Did anybody ever apologize to you? One guy did. Yeah, because we talked about that at the end, right? I said, we want to leave that open, that forgiveness piece. One guy has apologized since our show, Master Chief, that I think very highly of. And he said it well. It was a powerful text.
It actually brought me to tears because we had been very close friends. And I'm paraphrasing it now, but he said, basically, we should have stood by you. we should not have let lies perpetuate and we should have rallied around our teammate. Instead, we didn't. And he said, I'm sorry for that. And will you forgive me? So he and I have totally reconciled. Good. Yeah, there's some goodness in that.
And yeah, there's a lot of goodness in that. I wish more had. But back to our first discussion about power causing brain damage. I don't think a lot of people understand they legitimately think their actions are right because they're defending the institution. And so they justify this in some sort of a moral relativism and a misplacement of loyalty, right?
It's like you're being, back to the splinter in the log, you're being willfully blind about what's really going on right now And you're misplacing your loyalty to the institution above the Constitution. That's a very, very dangerous thing to do. And those two in sequence like that is a very, very dangerous thing to do. That's how you end up with institutional corruption.
