In news that should come as no surprise to anyone, U.S. Navy Captain Lisa Nowak has formally been given her walking papers from the astronaut gig.
What IS shocking (at least to me) is that she seems to be retaining her status within the military. According to CNN, her next assignment is going to be with the staff of the chief of naval air training in Corpus Christi, Texas. Now let me get this straight ... the Air Force gives the boot to Michelle Manhart for posing nude in Playboy ... the Navy, on the other hand, is keeping Lisa Nowak around despite being charged with battery and burglary of a vehicle with a weapon and attempted kidnapping ...
Something just doesn't seem quite right here. I guess Michelle Manhart's biggest mistake was not joining the Navy.

The curtain hasn't closed on this sad tragedy. I'm retired military and SOP is that Navy will wait until the civilians get done with her, and then they will drop the anchor on her. She'll have a forced retirement--the question is at what rank and with what punishment.
