Being "relieved" is the way the military says you're fired, confirmed it with my dad.

It's basically just adding chocolate onto something that tastes bad right?

He could mean it in the Navy way, which is a VERY different thing.

Basically how I see.

Regardless of rank, he's still just a human like me or you.

You would have thought someone in a position of such responsibility would have decent mental strength though.

Evidently he's too weak-minded to know when to stop gambling, it's a bloody good job he was fired.

yes and no. fired from your position of authority/responsibility yes. fired from the military no - because they might not be finished with you yet. although that generally means being eventually discharged from the military is your best case scenario

Being relieved of your command/post in the US Navy is being fired from your job, but it is not the same as having your commision revoked.
