Krusinski Receives Likely Career Ending Reprimand After Assault Acquital

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to those who have been following the Krusinski case:

The Air Force has decided to punish a former sexual assault prevention officer accused of groping a woman outside a Washington-area restaurant last year by issuing him a letter of reprimand rather than pursue a court-martial, according to an Air Force document obtained by Stars and Stripes.

The disposition decision by Col. Bill Knight, the commander of the 11th Wing, “was based primarily on the fact that [Lt. Col. Jeffrey] Krusinski had already been acquitted during his civilian trial,” according to the document, which is being reviewed.

A letter of reprimand “is designed to improve, correct and instruct those who depart from standards of performance, conduct, bearing and integrity and whose actions degrade the individual and the unit’s mission,” according to the Air Force.  [Stars & Stripes]

You can read more at the link, but Krusinski’s career is obviously over.  Considering the alternatives I am sure he is happy with being able to retire once he reaches 20 years of service.  It will be interesting to see if the Air Force decides to make him retire as a Major though which would be a huge financial loss for him for a crime that he was acquitted of.

Really didn’t follow this case but this is what I find interesting:

Air Force (along with other components) say:
“A letter of reprimand “is designed to improve, correct and instruct those who depart from…”

GI Korea (along with hundreds of thousands) say:
“Krusinski’s career is obviously over”

So why call it a letter of reprimand? What is the point of framing this as something to get someone back on-track so they can continue upwards? This reminds me of the “corrections” system and its similar faults. Do any of our f**king government programs work even the slightest bit? When will the a-holes running things finally admit it’s all jacked up and get to work replacing it with things are do work? Gahhh! WHere are my smileys!? I want some smileys! 🙁

“The employee, a transsexual, said Krusinski whispered to her, ‘You have a penis. I have a penis. It’s OK. You can come home with me.'”

That part of the story made ME smile.
