I thought that too. Someone's career in the military is over.
I see retirement in the Commander's near future as well..
If it was some Chief who wanted to torpedo a commander he didn't like.... noone will find out a thing or touch him. If it was some swabbie... well, my guess is that they don't hand full auto weapons to their Captain. Just a guess.
Commander's career is over. You don't survive being made a meme on the next step in the Ziggurat to full captain. The fitness report will be... all 5's (as usual... then again, is it still done with all 5's?) But everyone will know he is going to get axed. And he will get outed as a mere O-5. And go to work for Raytheon.
