Admirrral Booooorda keeled himself forr farr less!

What’s wrong?
He paid them right?
He didn’t drug, abuse or otherwise mistreat them, right?

Wow - this must be a new age military - fifty years ago when I was on Okinawa a good majority of the troopers would have been up for demotion had these standards applied......
This has to be the Onion or something.
Are they really sacking sailors for paying whores?
When I was in Pacfleet, they would have sacked every man in the fleet.

My friend’s grandfather said they would court martial soldiers who got venereal disease. WWI vet.

“As I was a-walking down Paradise Street, T’me!
A handsome young damsol I happened to meet,
Give me some room to blow the man down!”

“She was a nice girl, a proper girl, but one of the rovin’ kind!”
Enlisted men on Liberty were always allowed a certain … licence. Officers were expected to make more discreet arrangements. The Commander was not discreet.
At the age of 15 I rode a bus from Manila to Olongapo and walked right past a dozen bars and whore houses to the gate of Subic Bay. It was dusk and things were starting to rock and roll.

Little follow up from Military Times inre Submarine Skipper...
The Kitsap Sun of Bremerton, Wash. — where the Bremerton began its decommissioning last spring — based its report on documents received through a Freedom of Information Act request.
During the submarine’s March visit to Subic Bay, Philippines, Zettel was seen with 10 “provocatively dressed females outside the front door of [his] hotel,” a sailor told the Naval Criminal Investigative Service after calling an Inspector General hotline, according to the newspaper.
The tipster said Zettel told him and another sailor that he’d “ordered ten girls,” the report said. Another sailor told investigators he saw Zettel walking around and talking to other sailors in his command with “three local females holding onto his arm.”
The newspaper said NCIS agents later confronted Zettel with the allegations and that he “admitted culpability in the payment of female accompaniment.”
