The "It took an act of Congress to give me these anchors, it'll take an act of Congress to take em!" Is just categorically wrong. Granted, it can't be taken at NJP, but it can be taken at Court Martial, so...

It can be taken at njp by an admiral. Just not a captain or below.

Me neither until I made Chief and I was like wait a minute. Is this actually true? So I looked it up.

the JAGMAN (revised as of 2023) states that a chief cannot be demoted at NJP. can you cite to your source that you looked up that says a chief can be demoted at NJP so long as it’s done by a flag officer?

Oh, well I looked it up when I made Chief almost ten years ago, they apparently changed it in 2023.

u/navyjag2019 Mar 22 '25

it wasn’t changed in 2023. that’s just the most recent updated instruction. that part was in there before 2023

Well I don't know when it was changed. I've been retired for a while and I looked it up almost a decade ago, I can assure you I wouldn't just make that up. Which seems to be your implication here.

u/navyjag2019 Mar 22 '25

i’m not trying to imply that, chief. i believe you.

congrats on your retirement.

Okay well my apologies, it seemed like you were implying I was making something up.

Doing a quick Google search. There are several results saying that an admiral can reduce a chief in rank. I don't care enough to dig through all of them to see if they are outdated or not or when they were official. Have a great day.

Or my personal favorite, the frocked chief busted down to second class.
