Squadron Commander Relieved Over Alcohol Incident

The Navy says it has relieved a commanding officer of a squadron on the USS George H.W. Bush because of an alcohol-related incident.

WVEC-TV reports that Cmdr. Karl Pugh with Electronic Attack Squadron 141was relieved Tuesday following non-judicial punishment proceedings for an alcohol-related incident on July 12 during a port visit to Manama, Bahrain.

VAQ-141 Executive Officer Cmdr. Michael J. Miller has assumed command of the squadron.

The squadron is based at NAS Whidbey Island.

Not to be too picky - but VAQ-141 now flies the EA-18G Growler version of the F/A-18F Super Hornet instead of the EA-6B Prowler version of the A6 Intruder.
Good to see that the Officers are finally being held to the same standards as Enlisted personnel!
