Dumbass Officer Got Off Way Too Light
OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea — An Air Force captain who didn’t tell officials two women asked him for classified information was sentenced Monday to 10 months in prison and dismissal from the service.
But under a pre-trial agreement, Capt. James L. Shank will serve just six months in prison. Shank, 43, married and a father, was a mission planner with the 5th Reconnaissance Squadron, which flies classified reconnaissance missions in northeast Asia.
His court-martial began Monday before Air Force Lt. Col. Eric Dillow, judge for the Pacific Circuit, of Yokota Air Base, Japan. Shank opted to be tried by judge, not jury.
Shank pleaded guilty to disobeying an order, making a false official statement, three counts of violating a lawful general regulation and two counts of conduct unbecoming an officer.
Events that brought to an end his more than 18-year Air Force career began in December 2003 when he met Larisa Sergeevna Whittington, a dancer at the off-base Golden Gate club.
H/t to the Skivvy Nine Group.

I've been to the Golden Gate before. Weird thinking it's still around 18 years later.
A jury would have hung that SOB.

Yeah, every one of my tours I noticed many of the clubs changed names (as well as ownership), but the GG hung around. It was a feature of many a flight ville run schedule (The Gate at Eight).

This guy should have tried insanity as a defense, demonstrated by the fack that he let his concubine's MOTHER live with them in his apartment.

Heh... in my year at Osan I was in the Golden Gate about twice, always thought that club sucked. I'd hit one of the small clubs down Aragon Alley or the Heavy Metal (gone now).
