Oh Boy...... listen to the roar !

NORFOLK

A sailor who was convicted of wearing ribbons he shouldn't have worn was sentenced to 24 months in a military jail today.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Dontae L. Tazewell will also receive a bad conduct discharge and demotion to the rank of seaman.

Tazewell was found guilty yesterday of on 10 of 11 counts of wearing unauthorized ribbons, including the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and the Combat Action Ribbon.


This sucks !!

Should of gotten 20 but lets face it - 24 months in jail as an E-1 and then a dishonorable discharge really put a damper on his plan to make a career out of the Navy - In essence I hope he winds up as a burger flipper for the rest of his life, lives alone in a single room apartment above a skanky bar and has a neon light flashing in his room all night long!!!!

Actually he got busted to an E-3 (SN), from E-5 (PO2). And he got a
Bad Conduct Discharge, not a DD. I really doubt that any of this will
affect him in future dealings in life. The presiding judge should have
his ass kicked.

Cat with nine tails? In the dutch marine, in their glory days (say 1650 or so) the would "kielhaal" him, bind a rope around his waist and dragg him under the boat , jumping from one side and reappearing on the other side, usually with an open back and only alive when he was lucky.

The pirates did that for even minor infractions of law (like stealing). It
was called "Keel Hauling". Either the barnicles cut him to ribbons or he
drowned.

Now Chris..... what would the ACLU say if you were to suggest keel hauling
this poor innocent lad ? That's cruel and unusual punishment !
