Fighter squadron commander removed from post after probe into sexually explicit pilot call sign

The commander of one of Canada’s frontline fighter jet squadrons has been removed temporarily from his post, CBC News has learned.

It’s part of the fallout from a military police investigation into the decision to assign an allegedly derogatory, sexually explicit call sign — a military nickname — at an informal social gathering on June 23, 2022.

The police investigation resulted in administrative charges against three officers on Thursday, according to a statement from the Canadian Forces Provost Marshal.
