Earlier this month, military blogger Gina DiNicolo poked fun at the annual Rim of the Pacific exercise, in which thousands of sailors and Marines participate in 38 days of nation building and joint operations off the coast of Hawaii.
DiNicolo mocked RIMPAC by dubbing it “SNOOZEPAC” and called the action “anything but exciting.”
The blog post subsequently got her dumped from her job doing public affairs work for the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory. Read more on Marine Corps Times’ blog Battle Rattle.
