So now being caught drinking on duty is not your fault?

[Geekus Rex]

I think there's "just-outta-winter," "heading-toward-winter," and "almost-winter-again."

[draco664]

In winter?

What other seasons are there in Alaska?

[Midnight_Angel]

How about to watch over a Alaskan weather tower for four months straight?

In winter?

[Aethian]

Oh yes, send a screwup to an active war zone.

Antartica seems a better choice.

I don't think it'll still look like a good idea when lil' Ethan's actions result in endangering others. Y'know, these things occasionally happen in a war zone...

I'm with Panacea, and his 'antarctica' idea.

Oh yes, send a screwup to an active war zone.

Might not be such a bad idea...

[Sapphire Silk]

yep it's the system's fault that he was an idiot

and bored shmored. send him to a navy ship underway, or to a desert commend on mission... then you can be bored without access to alcohol

Asleep at the switch? I wasn't asleep. I was drunk!

So, I was waiting for my take-out when I heard this from the table behind me:

Sucky Guy (SG)
Sucky Girlfriend (SGF)

SG - "So Ethan got demoted last week."
SGF - "OMG!!! What happened?
SG - He was on guard duty in the tower saturday night when this Officer did an inspection, and he smelled alcohol on Ethan's breath so he got demoted, lost a pay grade and everything! It sucks!
SGF - "Yeah! Why'd the Officer have to be such a dick about it?!"
SG - "ALL the Officers are dicks! Anyone over the rank of MasterSgt is a dick, guaranteed! And it's not like anything was happening. The only reason they were drinking is because they were bored; nothing ever happens in the tower. If he hadn't been assigned guard duty nothing would have happened.
SGF - "That is SO not fair!"

Hmmm, so let's see. Ethan was caught drinking on guard duty on-base, gets busted, but the Officer was just being a dick. Riiiigggghhhttt. I don't really want to think about people like Ethan and his friends guarding any of our military installations!
