From the Marine Corp Times*:
Yet another aviation squadron commander has been fired as the turmoil rippling through Marine aviation refuses to take any time off for the holidays.
Lt. Col. Wade Workman was relieved of his duties Wednesday as head of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 232 (based at MCAS Miramar), which has seen two of its F/A-18 Hornets crash since Workman took command on Jan. 15, said Capt. Kurt Stahl, a spokesman for the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing.
A third Hornet from the squadron crashed in England in October 2015.
