CT lawmakers raise concerns over Coast Guard leader’s firing
Connecticut lawmakers raised concerns Tuesday over the Trump administration’s abrupt firing of Admiral Linda Fagan, who served as the first female commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard and had more recently overseen the response to Operation Fouled Anchor.
A senior official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Coast Guard, confirmed Fagan was terminated, pointing to &#;leadership deficiencies, operational failures and inability to advance the strategic objectives&#; of the service.
The official cited several reasons for her departure: &#;ineffective&#; deployment of the Coast Guard to assist with border security, dissatisfaction with recruitment and retention, efforts surrounding Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies and delays and cost overruns on icebreakers and helicopters used in the Arctic region.
Among those concerns was also the handling of Operation Fouled Anchor, a years-long investigation into decades of sexual misconduct claims at the Coast Guard Academy in New London and past

Good question!Logical.
Remind me - we grasp she is going to retire, but is the permanent paygrade O-7 or O-8? I doubt Congress will approve her retiring at the current rank of
Annual Basic Pay: $, (O)
BAH: $46, in (Joint Base Anacostia Bolling zip code)
BAS: $
Total compensation: $,
BAH + BAS (Non-Taxable): $49,
Usual Deduction: $15,
Taxable income: $,
It turns out O, O-9, and receive the same pay ($18,/month) with that many years (36+) in service, so the only way she loses money in retirement is if her eternal pay grade is indeed (taxable income reduced from $, to $,).

In response to a recent report from the Coast Guard accountability and transparency team regarding issues of harassment and other workplace concerns among service members, Commandant Ad The U.S. Coast Guard is under new leadership after the Trump administration fired Admiral Linda Fagan, the former Commandant, on Monday. She was fired in part because of Operation Fouled Anchor — the investigation into mishandled sexual assault cases at the Coast Guard Academy in New London that was buried by the branch. Christine Dunn is a partner at the law firm Sanford, Heisler, Sharp and McKnight. She’s representing survivors from the case. “I’m encouraged by President Trump ousting her,” Dunn said. “I am hopeful that her successor will embrace the position with much more transparency and willingness to hold people accountable for what happened in Operation Fouled Anchor.” Dunn said she hopes having Fagan out of the picture will encourage more survivors to come forward. “She was part of the leadership that was keeping this under wraps, keeping this from coming out,” Dunn said. “And maybe now, with her existence terminated, people will experience more emboldened to enter forward. I hope more survivors come forward; the mor
