Doesn't seem to be that big of a deal honestly and I say that as someone far from being a PSU/NLWC fan and definitely not a Gilman fan. All 3 of these incidents occured after OLY trials during which time Gilman admitted to having a really $hitty attitude so he probably didn't give 2 turkeys about whereabouts requirements. However, he has also during this time made multiple vague and confusing comments about not being retired so at the very least this was yet another display of poor foresight, judgement, and just plain ole negligence.
I don't think this incident should be tracked back to NLWC. This is all Gilman. He is a strange character. All 3 (brief) in person interactions that I had the displeasure of having with him were very uncomfortable. He does weird stuff
