Shouldn't have time to mess around in bars? What? They are supposed to have no off duty time? With an all volunteer force that ain't going to work to well. Funny thing is that in 1974 we did PT at 0800 with the last formations around 1700-1730. Then some officer came up with the idea that if they did PT at 0600 the troops would be too tired to go downtown at night and hit the bars after quitting time at 1700-1730. Nothing changed! I was never one to hit the bars either. But I understand that some are just going to do that. I think a lot because they are away from their parents and the local community and can act up. Same way a lot of kids do when they go off to college.
Our laws prevent someone from getting double punishment. I don't think that should change at all. On the other hand when they court martial someone they charge them with everything they can think of. I've seen guys charged with rape also be charged with drunk and disorderly, conduct unbecoming, simple assault plus the rape. Often the military penalty is much stiffer than had the perpetrator been charged as a civilian. 20 years for a rape wasn't unheard of when civilians were getting 5.
JD I think you are way off base here. While I personally think rape should have a very harsh sentence double punishment means that when someone joins up they no longer are and American citizen?

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
