Top enlisted sailor aboard Stout fired for fraternizing

Top enlisted sailor aboard Stout fired for fraternizing

The top enlisted sailor aboard the Norfolk-based destroyer Stout has been fired from his job.
According to Lt. Cmdr. Cate Cook, a spokeswoman for the Navy's Fleet Forces Command, the commanding officer of the Stout determined Friday that Master Chief Petty Officer Albert J. Marcucci had engaged in an "unduly familiar relationship" with a female subordinate, something prohibited by military regulations. He also was determined to have made a false official statement and was detached for cause after a nonjudicial punishment proceeding, she said.
Marcucci, trained as a Navy corpsman, reported aboard the Stout in May 2013 as command master chief, according to his official biography. Before that, he served in presidential support duty, working at Naval Support Facility Thurmont, Md. - better known as Camp David, the presidential retreat. He has extensive experience with the Marine Corps, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
This is the second time in three years that a top leader aboard the Stout has been relieved of duty: In early 2011, the commanding officer, command master chief and eight other sailors were removed from the ship after investigators determined they had caused a hostile work environment.

And everyone knows the rules. Another power hungry leader taking advantage of his position. He is supposed to help guide and develop. And lied about it. Dumb move on his part all around.

The "top enlisted sailor" on a warship is a Corpsman?
