Man discharged from navy shares his DADT story


Jarod McIntosh, a culinary specialist on board the U.S.S. Wyoming posted his Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell story online.

He said that in April, he took his cell phone onto the submarine, which was a restricted area. Camera devices are prohibited from these areas, and McIntosh’s phone was a camera phone. He said it was confiscated and searched for classified material.

“Of course there was no classified material on my cellphone, but there was pictures of me and my boyfriend Doug- some very personal pictures that I would have rather nobody seen, let alone my boss basically,” said McIntosh.

A few weeks after the incident McIntosh was “informed by my captain that I would be getting an other-than-honorable discharge from the United States Navy.”

1. Something not clear here.

What would the penalty be simply for bringing the camera on to the submarine? Even if there were no pictures already in it?
