The CO of the base and he's charged with absence without leave, dereliction of duty, rape, larceny and conduct unbecoming? Dude that's a Hollywood film right there!

This is the first I've heard about it.

I do have info, but it's in the form of an order to direct inquiries to the Sheppard AFB public affairs office.

*shrug*

Oh yea...  He's not the CO of the base.  Never was.  He was a group commander.

Ah, I thought he was base CO. Still, those are some serious freakin' charges.
