Reply #11: Military Sex Scandal!!!

[Whistleblowerjustice]

The is no justice for Whistleblowers in America, especially for Active duty military service members. Who I’m sure is exposed to military corruption everyday with all our taxpayers money going towards military defense or bailing out corrupts companies in the U.S.

Take a look at this News Clip and you will see that even our own military would rather engage in a cover-up than to uphold a person's legal right to Whistle Blower Protection..... A Congressional Committee should dig deeper into this matter and call the top Navy Brass to the Carpet on this one, "ADM Mullen and ADM Roughhead"!!!!!

With all the subtlety of a pack of wild dogs chasing a wounded deer across an open field, the Navy brass are out to destroy the life and career of a minority female officer who blew the whistle on contractor fraud.

Lt. Cdr. Syneeda Penland has been informed the Navy intends to kick her out of the military as of July 31, just eight months short of the former enlisted woman qualifying for an active-duty retirement pension.


Unmarried Female Officer Convicted of Adultery has filed a Lawsuit to Block Her Dismissal from the Navy

An unmarried female Navy officer has been ordered to be kicked out of the Navy just nine months before she would be able to retire with a full pension after a military court martial convicted her of having a sexual relationship with a married, but legally separated, male Navy officer.

Lt. Cmdr. Syneeda Penland received notice on 6 July that she must leave the Navy within three weeks.

Penland, who last year served a 60 day jail sentence in a Navy brig and paid a $9,000 fine as a result of being convicted of adultery, and two lesser related counts, will lose her pension, severance pay, and military health benefits that she earned over the past 20 years. Penland will also find civilian employment hard to come by because she is now a convicted felon – all because she was convicted of something that she would not even receive a slap in the hand for in any civilian court in the country.

Both Penland, 38, and the male officer, who was not prosecuted in the case, deny the relationship.

But even if the allegations are true, the disparity of treatment between Penland, the male officer she is accused of having been involved with, and others in similar sex scandals raises questions about the Navy’s commitment to gender and racial equality and the fairness of the military justice system.

Less than two years ago, a Defense Department inspector general found that a married male Navy officer, Vice Adm. John Stufflebeem, had sex with an unmarried civilian employee in a bedroom in the White House basement while he was on duty, and that he lied about the relationship when confronted by superiors. Stufflebeem was not prosecuted and was allowed to retire from the Navy with full pay and benefits. Several other male officers have been relieved of duty – but allowed to retire with full benefits– after Navy investigators found that they carried on extramarital relationships, sometimes with enlisted subordinates.

Rebecca Dickinson, a married white female lieutenant commander, admitted during the trial of D.C. Madam Deborah Jeanne Palfrey that she moonlighted for her as a prostitute while working as an ethics instructor at the Naval Academy. Dickinson, who was married at the time she worked for Palfrey, was also allowed to retire with full pension and benefits.

Penland, who is black, earned numerous commendations and exemplary fitness reports while working her way up the ranks after enlisting in the Navy in 1989.

She maintains that her prosecution is at least partially based on retaliation for her complaints about financial misconduct by defense contractors that she worked with. A Navy inspector general’s office substantiated several of her allegations raised against this defense contractor. Multiple Navy officers and civilian employees are also available to substantiate all or part of her allegations, but Navy officials have so far refused her efforts to be allowed to retire from the Navy.
