He would get chewed up one side and down the other, then ordered to make a public apology to the members of the establishment.
Your reference to the off base drinking hit home for me. I got an Article 15 for that exact violation when I was doing my tour.
Granted, my tour was about 20 years ago. Maybe the military has loosened up some since then, but I hope not.
Skuzzy yeah it has, Granted in the regs it says 1 drink as well
but you cannot be in the establishment after food stops being served. I just got out last June, and I cannot tell you how many times I went into the local bar off base and see a flood of green and brown. What we learned in tech school and basic was go off base have to be in blues, no drinking in uniform that kind of stuff.
When I got to my first base it was party time. I never got an article, I was threatened by a chick who said she would go to my commander because I was drinking in uniform. She was military and getting kicked out and didnt care who she pissed off.
The military has changed big time, people are in fear mainly if they something could make them lose their command, I have never seen so many fat people in the military then in the usaf. I saw this woman the other day had to be pushing 300, bellybutton was as big as a double decker bus. I asked someone HTF does that stay in the usaf?
BTW we are training people to become less violent in the military. We are peace keepers now not soldiers. Might as well carry battons as well. Can you tell I am pissed where the military is going?
