Naughty Admiral caught on his own tailhook

18 years after the fact, Vice Admiral John Stufflebeem is trying to get forced retirement instead of censure because of an affair he had. In the White House. In 1990. When he was Military Aide to President Geoge H.W. Bush.

Vice Admiral Stufflebeem is a 1975 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, he enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserves in 1969 beginning his service as a deck seaman. He was designated a Surface Warfare Officer in 1978 and Naval Aviator in 1980.

As a commissioned officer, Vice Adm. Stufflebeem has served operational tours in a surface combatant, various fighter squadrons and carrier air wing staffs in the Pacific and Atlantic Fleets. He commanded Fighter Squadron 84 and Carrier Air Wing 1 during combat operations in the Balkans and Persian Gulf and Carrier Group 2/Task Force 60 during Operation Iraqi Freedom. His previous assignment prior to returning to Washington was Commander 6th Fleet, Deputy Commander Naval Forces Europe, Joint Force Maritime Component Commander Europe, Commander Strike and Support Forces NATO, and Allied Commander Joint Command Lisbon. Vice Adm. Stufflebeem has flown over 4,000 hours in a variety of fighter aircraft and has more than 1,000 aircraft carrier landings.

Additionally, Vice Adm. Stufflebeem has served in staff assignments including Military Aide to President George H.W. Bush, Deputy Executive Assistant and later, Executive Assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations. His first assignment as a flag officer was Deputy Director for Global Operations (J-3) on the Joint Staff during Operation Enduring Freedom. Subsequent to Operation Iraqi Freedom he was the Assistant Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information, Plans and Strategy.

Vice Adm. Stufflebeem’s decorations include the Navy Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star, Meritorious Service Medal and Air Medal.

Great. Just fargin great. Another damned flyboy who can’t keep his winky in his pants. Who got laid in the White House long before Slick Willy ever even had the chance. Who has spent the last decade or more trying to lie his way out of the allegations of this affair, but the system finally caught up with him:

A Navy admiral engaged in sexual relations in the White House in 1990 with a federal employee whom he falsely told he was a widower, according to a report released Friday by the Defense Department.  In March, when the report was submitted to Pentagon officials, Rear Adm. John Stufflebeem was demoted and fired from his post as director of the Navy staff.  Stufflebeem told investigators he couldn’t remember the name of the woman he had an affair with. He also lied when he told investigators he did not engage in sexual relations with the woman, identified as “Jane Doe,” the Defense Department’s inspector general’s report said.

Jane Doe, who was then unmarried and working for a federal agency, told the investigators the allegations were true, the report said. Her supervisor and Stufflebeem’s superiors supported her testimony.

Stufflebeem was convicted April 18 of making false official statements to investigators. After the hearing, called an admiral’s mast, he requested retirement.

The lying little dirtbag. Can’t remember the woman’s name huh? Like bloody hell. At least “I will not divulge her name” has a teensy bit of honor. Nope, she’s just some tramp he was doinking for awhile, that’s all. Heck, he even tried denying the whole thing for quite some time -

“I did not have sex with this woman,” he said during one of two interviews with investigators.

Yeah right, like that one is gonna fly in DC ever again.

Stufflebeem was still claiming a frame-up as recently as February, and honestly, without a stained blue dress or two, we’ll never know for sure.

“[I] find it extremely regrettable, in a case that has such far reaching implications for my career, that you have chosen to question my integrity,” he wrote in a February 15 letter. “The unfortunate truth in this case is that, as a result of lack of evidence to substantiate the allegation of a sexual relationship and in lieu of investigating the underlying allegations, you have chosen to accuse me of being untruthful as I defended myself against these allegations.”

Stufflebeem further castigated the investigators because, at that time, they had chosen not to interview Jane Doe “in deference to Ms. Doe’s privacy,” according to the report. Doe “readily agreed” to testify when they contacted her after Stufflebeem’s rebuttal.

“Ms. Doe confirmed that she and Stufflebeem had an extensive physical relationship which began on an overseas trip and lasted intermittently for approximately eight months,” the investigators wrote. “The relationship included sexual intercourse on approximately one dozen occasions, to include intercourse during overseas travel, in the White House and in her home.”

Hmmm ... 9 years after and the Navy still hadn’t talked to Miss Thang? Maybe this really is a frame. You can’t prove it one way or the other. So he’ll just get retirement, after a 33 year career.

Well Admiral, thanks for your service, here’s your retirement check, DLTDHYOTWO. buh bye. Snufflebean. Two faced twat, or innocent guy brought low by the old honey pot gambit?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
