Is that really an O6 job?

Not the guy relieved of command .... but his second.

The U.S. Naval Academy says the head of its preparatory school has been relieved of his command "for loss of confidence in his ability to command" the school.

Capt. Leland Hart Sebring has been commanding officer of the Naval Academy Preparatory School in Newport, R.I., since July 2007.
...
Capt. Anthony Barnes, the academy's chief diversity officer, has temporarily assumed duties at the prep school until a permanent replacement is found.

Need to cut down on excess O6 billets? You can downgrade a few steps.

Hat tip Mike.
