A year later, a Sergeant goes into a club, gets carded like everyone else, gets a number of a girl he meets. 6 months later, and nothing more than phone contact, gets booted because her fake id didn't say she was 17, upon chaptering out with a General OTH (I was his escort), he asked the brigade commander what made him so different, and with a straight face, the commander said, "He was a good christian, he obviously didn't mean any harm, your not." (The soldier was jewish, and when he cried foul.. (and I did) the reply from the EO guys was a "So what, its true")
Dear God!!!

The SGT and his love of air guitar should have been fast tracked to Private E-1 and introduced to his new duty station at Fort Leavenworth for the next 10-20 years. As for the Brigade Commander AND the EO people...ya'll should have gone straight to the IG!!!
