"These e-mail exchanges were found to have constituted an unprofessional relationship. The investigation did not uncover any additional misconduct," the Air Force said.

The anonymous complaint that triggered the probe alleged that Hesterman also interfered in the military assignments of the female officer's former husband, according to a heavily redacted copy of the investigation report.

The Air Force has an Assistant Vice Chief of Staff? When they start looking to eliminate GO positions I'd start with that one.

Is that like assistant to the regional manager? In all seriousness what does he do/is in charge of?

[Duck]

Ha ha. Exactly. Not sure, coffee and back rubs maybe?

[DUNBAR]

I wonder if there's a Deputy Assistant Vice Chief of Staff.

At least that's not on a gov't network.

Out of curiosity, did he ever get a retirement ceremony? Is this something that could negatively impact his chances for future employment?

The civilian world seems to care about these things substantially less than the military, so I doubt it.

There is a very easy fix for all of this general/flag officer personal misconduct but, sadly, it will never be implemented. 

If a GO/FO gets cashiered for personal misconduct, the service should lose that GO/FO billet for 3 years. 

With this, you know that shit would get fixed literally overnight.  Screening and selection would instantly double in rigor.

Afterall, maintaining GO/FO billets is are among the services' highest priorities...
