Now, under new mismanagement, I really suspect that top brass are being yanked around mercilessly, and this is what happens.

It's a very small service. It was remarked to us that it was the size of the NYPD or smaller. And it has bounced around between departments. Originally the treasury, then Defense, Navy, Transportation and now DHS, and you can guess what that did.

Female Commandants of the Coast Guard and Navy were trashed, along with .... everything.
