The commanding officer and master chief of a Florida-based Navy missile unit have been relieved of their duties after an investigation found that adult-entertainment businesses were solicited in a fundraising effort for a Navy Submarine Ball, the Navy said Tuesday.
Capt. John P. Heatherington was relieved of his command of the Naval Ordnance Test Unit at Cape Canaveral, Fla., Tuesday by Strategic Systems Programs Director Vice Adm. Terry Benedict and received non-judicial punishment after a command investigation determined that golf tournament fundraisers for the annual Navy Submarine Ball solicited adult-entertainment establishments, among other businesses, for funds.

Navy CO fired for raising funds from strip club for ball?
While I can think of many reasons for a Commanding Officer to lose their jobs, this doesn't seem to be on of them. He was trying to raise funds for a ball for Heaven's sake and not for himself. If a strip club offered me a donation, I'd take it. Even people of questionable careers can have big hearts.
