The Navy announced Monday that it has reprimanded a two-star admiral for getting drunk and wandering naked around a Florida beachfront hotel while attending a conference with defense contractors.
Rear Adm. David F. Baucom, the director of strategy and policy at the U.S. Transportation Command, became so intoxicated at an upscale beachfront resort in April that he struck his head on a barstool, wet his pants and needed an escort back to his room, according to an investigative report by the Naval Inspector General.
A few hours later, still in a haze, Baucom re-emerged from his room without any clothes on - as his door automatically locked behind him, the report states.
As the admiral stumbled around the grounds of the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club desperately looking for a towel to wrap around his waist, he was spotted by two alarmed female guests who reported him to hotel security.

Yup, my first thought as well.
Obola has fired hundreds of military brass in the last seven years.

BFD. So the admiral tied one on, good for him. He didn’t get behind a wheel, and no one got hurt. How about FREEDOM???

Well, I certainly never did! Uh, in Florida, that is. On a Wednesday night. Anyway, I burned the negatives.

George Costanza: Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I’ve worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time.

That couple that had sex on the beach in was it Ft. Myers? is facing hard time in prison.
I don't think anything happened to the couple who had sex at a side altar at St. Patrick's Cathedral a few years ago.
I'm not approving of any of the shenanigans but a reprimand is getting off pretty damn easy imo.
