The canny CO in his wisdom and compassion dealt effectively with the problem and the twit. He was the calibre of man that helped the military to run smoothly and efficiently . Jeff, did you ever try to find the record in the archives of what misdemeanor your old man is supposed to have committed.?
It may have been something as trivial as being AWOL for a night
Or seducing or being seduced by the CO's wife, sister or driver.
