I was the dishonored ex-chaplains supervisor for the past 2 years, Holcomb wrote in his message. I found him to be totally untruthful, unethical and insubordinate. He was and is contemptuous of all authority. He was not court martialed for praying in Jesus name. I sent him out in uniform every week to pray at various ceremonies and functions. He always prayed in uniform and in Jesus name. He was never told that he could not pray in Jesus name.
In fact, the issue of prayer had nothing at all to do with his dismissal from the Navy. He disobeyed the lawful order of a senior officer. I am sure that you understand that Navy Regulations forbid any of us, regardless of rank or position, to appear in uniform in support of any political or partisan event. --Former Superior Norm Holcomb
[...] He appeared in direct support of a political event, demonstrating contempt for the order of his Commanding Officer and Naval Regulations that we all swear that we will abide by. The ex-chaplain is a man without honor and you have accepted his story and in doing so you have had the wool pulled over your eyes. --Former Superior Norm Holcomb

This guy's too ignorant to be a naval officer. I hope they make an example out of him.
