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.

Is a “butter bar” the Army equivalent of a “90 day wonder?” I never heard that term in the Navy.
Any O1 is a butter bar. It’s what the rank insignia looks like for all branches.
Gotcha. Thanks. I generally just called them Ensign, since my first O rank was O4
I wouldn’t call them a butter bar to their face. Lieutenant is the proper term for the most junior Army officers.
I was honestly too busy grading their work to come up with derogatory terms for my students. I guess we called them freshies, and newbies, when we didn’t just call them the ensigns
