The August 11 issue of Defense Week will carry a fuller examination of this topic.

I wonder if she is any fuller now.

Let's keep it clean and see if the thread lasts at least a day or two.

This is a fine example of top heavy government spending.

used her Pentagon plastic to rack up

Huh-huh. He said plastic & rack... Huh-huh...

FYI

It gives a whole new meaning to the expression "charge it with plastic." ;-)

Pierre's rip-off was detected by the experimental use of data-mining techniques, which can detect telltale trends and anomalies in large databases.

Experimental? There is nothing experimental about data-mining techniques. It is frightening that our government (which is supposed to have the capability to listen to every conversation on phone, IM, email, etc.) is "experimenting" with data-mining techniques. It is even more unsettling that this SSgt. would do something like this. She is a total embarrassment of a human being and NOT what any Marine I know stands for.

Glad they caught this boob(s).

She just wanted to be all that she could be.


(yeah, I know, it's an Army saying and she is a marine)

Putting better Marines on the front, and putting better fronts on the Marines.

First there were Marines that couldn't keep up with Dubya when he jogged in Texas, and now this. What is going on with the Corps?!?

R. Lee Ermey for Commandant!

As taxpayers, we deserve to see pictures.

She received 14 months confinement, a bad-conduct discharge, a reduction in her enlisted grade (from E-6 to E-3) and a fine...

Now an E-3 with the DoD but she has a perfect C!

[Rebelbase]

Government enlargement must stop.

buy a car, a motorcycle, furniture, household goods--and a breast job

Does she get to keep the stolen goods?

[putupon]

Troop morale is important.

When I was a contractor we strongly suspected that one of the military guys was abusing his card. The unit was very short of personnel, so not only was he the holder of the card - he was also in charge of auditing the account for mis-use.

Keep us abreast of the issue.

[mhking]

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

"Staff Sergeant Sherry Pierre, an active duty Marine who worked for Marine Forces Reserve headquarters command in New Orleans, used her Pentagon plastic to rack up $129,709 in goods, services and upgrades to her physique, a command spokesman confirmed.....

On June 17, Pierre was found guilty of stealing from the government. She received 14 months confinement, a bad-conduct discharge, a reduction in her enlisted grade (from E-6 to E-3) and a fine of $30,000, said Capt. Jeff Pool, spokesman for her employer, Marine Forces Reserve.

$130,000 goods for $30,000. Justice served. < /sarcasm >
