Trump fired Linda Fagan, the first female Coast Guard commandant, on his second day in office. A Trump official told her she had three hours to leave her house on Tuesday.

Summary

Trump evicted former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her military housing with just three hours’ notice, despite an earlier 60-day waiver.

Fagan, the first woman to lead a military branch, was dismissed on Trump’s second day in office over concerns about DEI policies and border security.

Homeland Security officials cited her termination as justification, though sources called it a “petty” move.

Fagan was forced to leave most belongings behind, spending the night with friends while awaiting relocation of her personal items.

    You’re not supposed to tip military movers, it’s in the instructions you’re provided.

    My wife and I just recently moved using military movers and all our stuff is fine. She’s a captain (the O3 kind).

    Both teams of people were professionals and we didn’t lose anything to theft or damage. Maybe we just got lucky, idk. My experience as lower enlisted having government movers pack up my shit in Italy to move back to the states was similar back in 2014 though. Never had an issue.

      My move was in the States. And yeah, the not tipping part is how most of us get fucked. Happy you had a good experience. I have nothing against movers for the record. It’s a tough fucking job.
