Rear Adm. Scott W. Ebert, under investigation for alleged misuse of government personnel and funds at two military supply centers, has received a letter of reprimand and has retired, the Navy said in Norfolk, Va. The retirement of Ebert, 54, who requested the move, ended investigations begun two months ago by the Department of Defense’s inspector general and the Navy. The Navy said Ebert was charged with three violations under the Uniform Code of Military Justice alleging that he inappropriately used government personnel and funds while stationed in Norfolk and Richmond.
