The Chief of the Boat of the USS Manchester currently deployed in the South China Sea installed an illegal Starlink antenna and secret wifi network so she could watch her favorite telenovelas.
When she was caught she lied to her commanding officer and the admiral not once but three times forcing an official NCIS investigation to be conducted.
The antenna and network potentially allowed the Chinese Navy to track the ship and penetrate its classified Combat Information Systems.
Despite putting the entire crew of the Manchester at risk AND lying to her commanding officer Command Senior Chief Petty Officer Grisel Marrero was not given any prison time nor was she separated from the Navy - instead she was demoted to Chief Petty Officer and reassigned.
Marrero was recruited and promoted BECAUSE of her racial and cultural identity to meet the diversity, equity, and inclusion goals of the Navy.
As a result, her command did not believe they could separate her from the Navy much less sentence her to prison.
