I hope, that when his CO gives him a good ticking off, he also mentions that his prowess at playing billiards is absolutely abysmal, and if he'd been a half-way decent player, as befits an officer and gentleman, then maybe none of this would have happened.
With regards to 'public opinion' I would venture a guess that the incident has long been forgotten.

Billiards?
Billiards Old Boy? Thought that was invented on the old Indian frontiers by some young, totally bored Army officers with access to far too much cheap grog and peronalities that wouldn't get them a sniff of a barmaid's apron unless they were very wealthy or their Mater had lots of loot?.
Shum' co-incedence perhaps? Mind you, history didn't seem to be his strong point at school.

My apologies Pontious.
Yes, more than adequate, and it coincides very closely with my understanding of the term "public", though a military marquee could go either way depending on whether there are civilian guests.
Rather different from a hotel room, i agree.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Tourist, does the Very Reverend Oliver Twistleton-Wycombe-Fiennes count?
As for 'not in public', there was a number of JOs gathered loosely near a settee in the corner. A not so SO went to have a look at what was going on and started to peer over the back of the settee. One of the oh so JO grabbed him, pulled him back, and told him to wait his turn.
Tact!

Interesting use of the stable belt, and she's wearing a hat!

And the last wg cdr that did that one had a career that came to a shuddering stop and the word from on high - no more.
That's the trouble. Morale and their Generalships don't mix. Look at Armadillo; only the red tops stopped SecDef and the brass making fools of themselves.
