What’s the deal with CMA Sean Cahill and why is he so lazy? Answers in post.

Just to note: Sean Cahill was a Master at Arms on a Cruiser. A Chief. Not a Master Chief. Not a Senior Chief.

A CMA. CMA’s are the lowest of lows within a Chiefs Mess. Ask anyone in the Navy. Anything lower might be a Deck Department Chief… but highly doubtful. Deck does a lot of work while a CMA doesn’t really do anything underway. Sit in office. Drink coffee… take naps.

CMA’s are not qualified to stand watches…. on the Bridge or in combat. You may have a ESW pin but that doesn’t mean a thing in the real Navy. Great, you”kinda” understand the real navy and move along. Especially a CMA more so than any rate in the Navy. Deck enlisted may become Navigators. A CMA is essentially a baby sitter in the Navy with a coffe cup. Cahill was not a combat qualified watch officer. Cahill was not a qualified Bridge officer. Those are just the facts. But he does have nice hair.

Senior Chief Day was qualified being an Operation Specialist. It was the AEGIS system recording different and anomalous contacts those DAYS. Also I belief SPY 6 was involved ans SLQ32 radars. Being an OSSC it’s possible he was in combat but NOT on the bridge.

What I think you all fail to realize is that he was in COMBAT with 4-5 Officers watching every radar including AEGIS. Cruisers and DDG’s have AEGIS displays… on the bridge as well. ADD ANOTHER 3-4 Offciers AND 6-7 enlisted. ADD an anomalous track? XO and CO involved every time. 2 more officers. 3 days of PTSD inducing radar contacts? AND on top of that we have 4 hour watches… so every Bridge/Combat watcher was aware of these tracks… saw them on radar… and fortunately did not suffer PTSD like Senior Chief Day did. God Bless.

On TOP of that… you have every DDG and the Carrier seeing… EVERYTHING the Princton sees. AND ON TOP OF THAT… each ship shares radar. EACH one. It’s combined into one view. The radar contacts that Senior Chief Kevin Day saw… and which gave him PTSD apparently (and which he cried tears in that doc)… was seen by at least… in real world time well over 50+ shipmates both in combat and bridge by 5 U.S. Naval Ships. It’s probably closer to 100 shipmates aware and viewing radar. That’s a lot of PTSD.

I’m not saying what happened wasn’t real. Real contacts being picked up, verified by other Ships and their combat systems, verified by fighters…

Something occurred. Senior Chief Day was suffering from PTSD before it even hit him while the other 100 shipmates suffered… suffered watching radar returns… oh the humanity.

What I am saying is that this guy:

Chief Master at Arms Sean Cahill was in his rack … or in the chiefs mess taking a nap. Never entered Combat or the Bridge and if he did by accident was immediately told to leave. Please do not confuse a Master Chief with a Chief master at none.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
