The California Air National Guard removed a third high-ranking officer from his position because of complaints he made whistleblowers feel threatened at the 144th Fighter Wing in Fresno.
The report was prepared by Brig. Gen. Tim Rieger, who was tasked by Maj. Gen. David Baldwin, head of the California Military Department, with investigating Sikora’s actions. At least one person recorded the briefing, where Sikora said anyone filing complaints was causing problems for the wing, according to the report.
Sikora’s briefing came after The Times began asking questions about alleged retaliation against whistleblowers and the incident in which Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pineda found that someone at the Fresno base had urinated in the boots she had left in a bathroom overnight.in October in a crash during a training mission in Ukraine, from the 144th wing filed formal complaints. Two of those were related to the urine incident, including one filed by Pineda.
