And presumably while the wheels of justice grind slowly, she will be put in charge of inventorying the paper clips or something. Preferably nothing sharp or that could go bang.

So how do you square that with asking someone to command the respect of her subordinates after going just a bit over the top.

I'm sure Nowak will be medically retired from the Navy in the not-too-distant future. It just takes time for that sort of thing to happen. Manhart was ultimately discharged from active service but it took a while.

Remember the reserve air force Sargent who was dismissed from active duty because she posed for playboy. I think they said conduct prejudicial to her being able to command the respect of her peers or something. So how do you square that with asking someone to command the respect of her subordinates after going just a bit over the top.

I agree with Joe-they aren't going to let her near anything important. She will probably be ridind a desk, and one where important stuff doesn't come across it.

It is all surprising. It seems that Lisa Nowak was more of social engineer than a science engineer. She was able to charm, network, pursue, focus, and socially tool her way to top. Charming her way to be a pilot with such a short stature...Or may she did have talent, real critical thinking ability, and creativity but stressed out--too much push.

As a former AF Pilot, they're not gonna let her NEAR an airplane. Filing papers probably.
