Danny, where were you when I was charged and found guilty of having dust in the welts of my boots? My first offence and I didn't even know what welts were, let alone that they were a vital component of my boots, and anyway I couldn't see any dust dust in them. I was set up I tell you, done right over, and me as innocent as the day is long.
Never mind, your two airmen were the beneficiaries of your knowledge of what is right and what is wrong. The matter was decided in the correct place, the orderly room, not at the scene of the alleged offence, nor in the corridors of power, but at the place assigned and by the subordinate commander empowered by the AFA as laid out in MAFL. The right thing is not always easy, but it is still the right thing.
