Wow. Wasn't expecting that.

[Ivorythumper]

@jon-nyc Nor was I.

I hope his career isn't ruined, but he seriously screwed the pooch on the front porch for the world to see -- this will forever be on his record.

Here's the email - it was sent to 10 folks. 3 Admirals and 7 Captains

[Jolly]

He's not going back.

What's the chain of command for such concerns? I honestly don't know.

I would assume it would involve sending concerns to his superior officers (though I may be wrong). Which of those 10 recipients are in the chain of command?

How could he write, "Our current efforts effort..." at the beginning of the last paragraph?

I can understand journalists being sloppy, that's their trade. But not proofreading a document over and over to see that it is clear, succint, and expresses a position accurately, and NO misspelled words or repeated words or poor grammar?

Not sure why that bugs me. Reminds me of when I told an accounting firm, "if you have mistakes on page 3, and mistakes on pg. 124, can you tell me on which page accuracy begins? I'll begin there."

It’s the new covfefe world.

There are people who are far more educated than these recipients who make mistakes in professional correspondence on a daily basis.

And by the way you misspelled "succinct."

And by the way you misspelled "succinct."

Okay, that was terse.

[Rainman]

@Loki
No, that's OK. It's good that he could c the spelling error. Get it? I left out the "c" in the word succinct. I feel, well, violated as a victim of white male mansplaining. Not sure what to do, it's so hard when I'm crying so hard and clutching my pillow, realizing that I had no idea there were "far more educated than these recipients who make mistakes..."
Their, your not gonna catch me making any more mistakes, its not possible, my spelling is going to be like the listed. . . recipient's.
