He should be reduced in rank to E-1 and made to fulfill his service commitment. No need wasting his WP remittance. He can stay E-1 until that is paid off.

According to something I read yesterday the punk is now in collusion with a group of conscientious objectors who are trying to convert as many active duty personnel as they can.

This punk is prior enlisted and already spent time in the Sandbox. The enlisted corps already has enough issues to have to deal with someone like this. Enlisted are honorable and do not need to have dirtbags being punished by placing then in the enlisted ranks. That is a slap in the face to enlisted folk and why people who are officers or getting kicked out of the Academy's or ROTC for bad behavior are never activated into the enlisted force.

"My task--the Party's task--was to organize defeat. From defeat would spring the Revolution...and the Revolution would be victory for us......The Party looked to the conscript peasants. Most of them were in their first good pair of boots. When the boots wore out, they'd be ready to listen. When the time came, I was able to take three battalions with me out of the front lines; the best day's work I ever did."

I’m retired USAF, SMSgt, so I’m not disrespecting the enlisted corps as I was one.

I’ve known some young airman who failed at the USAFA but that was academic failure, and they were outstanding troops, but I do see your point.

I just hate how this whole thing was handled, and how he was able to get a free education with no payback.

Makes sense to me. I was a USAF Master Sgt. Do you think for one minute, that I would want a POS like him working for me? Not for a minute.
Under other circumstances, I had a 3 striper working for me, when I was Ssgt. He had been a C-130 pilot, but the RIF got him. He stayed in, so he could retire as a Captain. It was weird, because he was 15 years older than me, but he took it in stride, and did everything I asked him to, and retired, and got a pay raise. His wife was an officer too. I think she was an RN.
