Thank you for responding and look - I get it, it's been the norm to copy the WW2 to the current era US Navy.
I mean really - nothing says you have to copy IRL navy from so long ago. I understand that it has been the norm so far to heavily lean on IRL stereotypes and direct imports in Liberty - hell a lot of what we do have still is a direct import and tropes, but I don't think Disco factions have to confine themselves to the strict IRL Army and Navy direct imports.
As to the dismissal - I am not sure how yours went, but for me it's simple, I don't consider it as valid for entire Navy. Van Leer's character was dismissed from one Fleet and transferred to another. There was no process or discussion in or oorp, it was an out-of-the-blue oorp kick from people I trusted with no accusation, evidence, or discussion prior to said kick in or out of roleplay. And I don't want to revisit this with the people that were behind this because of the surprising and deep differences in character.
What you see here is the entire extent of the in and oorp process, the only thing that was ever brought up or said prior to the dismissal and kick from the faction in or oorp.
In short, being dismissed from Navy as a whole is not part of the character lore as it made no sense in the first place - this is what I mean, and if some people want to disagree and think an OF can arbitrarily force out a character out of an ID with zero discussion or evidence only because of an oorp preference they can always try enforcing it with staff. For me, however, it is a done thing of the past.
