‘Maj. Gen. Howard B. Bromberg, who took over in January, cracked down after a review of base crime statistics showed that in late 2007 and early 2008, sexual assaults, domestic violence and traffic accidents by soldiers 18, 19 or 20 involved alcohol more often than not.’
Dunno if he factored in if the guys had returned from rotation. Stuff usually happens when you get back.

You bring up an interesting point. I wonder how many of these troops are regular soldiers or reserve and national guardsmen there for deployment. THen again it is a training base and will actually begin having basic training back their again as well soon, if not now.
