US Navy Officer Demoted for Operating Unauthorized WiFi Network on Warship

Grisel Marrero and fellow chiefs installed a Starlink network, posing significant security risks and misleading superiors.

Senior Chief Grisel Marrero conspired with other chiefs to install a $2,800 Starlink dish on the USS Manchester.
The unauthorized network, named 'STINKY,' was used for personal entertainment, excluding lower-ranking sailors.
Marrero charged the network's $1,000 monthly fees to a leadership association debit card and falsified records.
The illegal network was discovered by a civilian technician, leading to Marrero's admission and subsequent demotion.
Other involved sailors faced administrative punishment for their roles in the scheme.
