Didn’t hear he was cashiered. Heard he was undedr diciplinary action for “Conduct Unbecomining”......
While I’m not a fan of “ring bangers”, and suspect its possible he was “tippling”, luggage is luggage and it associates with a lot of unwashed/unsightly/honkey luggage in its sojourn in the belly or on carousles. I somehow find it hard to believe Cadet King could be mistaken for the ubiquitous hispanic baggage boosters common to that airport even a couple of decades’ back.
I suspect the “Kaydet” was a victim of “diva ego” - possibly enhanced by publicity needs - of a waning “star”.... >PS
From the article:
“King is “outprocessing under an administrative action,” according to academy spokesman Joe Tombrello. He said he was unable to discuss the specifics of King’s situation, but explained that cadets who leave the academy after the beginning of their junior year may be eligible for a program under which they serve active duty for three years and then have the option to return and complete their degree. The option is only offered to those who have “the potential to return,” he said.”
“Outprocessing” is administrative jargon for “expelled”.
