Campaigns like this aren't usually very effective... those without the common courtesy to behave properly aren't going to change their behavior just because of a sign.

Reminds me of a sign I saw along a city street in Islamabad, Pakistan, during a "no-honking" enforcement effort, "Before honking, consider how you…

And of course the Air Force Times does have a reputation as a military equivilent of the Enquirer... but it is posted there as well:

Disregard... just noticed they pulled it from Kyodo...

Sailwind,

Thanks! I thought it was all a bit suspicious. But even the posters are lined up to bash the poor mil Police.....

I've seen it in official channels also...

Since he is an SF Airman, I can assure you he'll be done. While some may get away with getting a DUI or other infractions and still stay in, crimes which involve breaches of trust (robbery...) are intolerable. If he somehow managed to stay in, he would be removed from…

For those who think the military should just be locked down and never allowed off base, I have to say, that reaction is the same one that military leaders take now which does no good... punish the 99.9% to attempt to get at the .1% who don't have the sense…

WTF...

You gotta wonder what a 22 y.o. Air Force Security Policeman is thinking, having a bunch of punk dependants hanging out at his house... and why his supervision wasn't aware of this. And then to find out he was involved... hope he ends up rotting in a Japanese jail...

Very interesting... seems the radioactive material was the target of the theft, as there is no mention of anything else being stolen. Some nasty stuff...

How about Psyche Eval... This should be standard, they would have caught this knucklehead before he even left the states...

Robin Hood, My point is, if an individual "fails" a screening prior to being stationed overseas... why are they allowed to serve in the first place. If you are crazy/unstable/too…

The only thing the that they should add to the SOFA is a guarantee that the U.S. will properly screen people before bringing them into Japan.

I gave the "screening for overseas assignments" issue more thought while at lunch... I don't understand what further screening is required... if an individual…
