The commanding officer of Transaction Service Center (TSC) Great Lakes, Ill., Cmdr. Steven J. Green, was relieved of his duties on Oct. 30, 2023, by Capt. Jason R. Grose, commanding officer of Navy Pay and Personnel Support Center (NPPSC), due to a loss of confidence in his ability to fulfill the responsibilities as commanding officer.
The U.S. Navy holds commanding officers to a very high standard and holds them accountable when those standards are not met. Commanding officers are entrusted with essential responsibilities to their Sailors and their commands. They are expected to maintain the Navy's high standards of leadership by demonstrating competence in their duties at all times.
Capt. Mary Decker, currently serving as executive officer of TSC Norfolk, will assume duties as TSC Great Lakes commanding officer. TSC Great Lakes is a command under NPPSC responsible for new accession pay and personnel transaction processing. Green has been administratively reassigned to higher headquarters in Millington, Tenn.
