Six USFK Soldiers Have Been Punished with UCMJ for Not Following Coronavirus Guidelines
|Camp Casey soldiers have been getting hit hard by UCMJ for violating coronavirus restrictions:
At least six soldiers also have received nonjudicial punishment under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for going to bars off-base or otherwise violating restrictions on nonessential movement off-base, according to the Eighth Army.
Two privates assigned to the 210th Field Artillery Brigade at Camp Casey had to forfeit pay and received extra duty and a written reprimand for traveling to Camp Humphreys without authorization on March 28, violating their unit’s sign-out policy and possessing alcohol while underage.
Two privates first class with the 210 FAB were reduced in rank, forfeited pay and received written reprimands for drinking in a bar on March 14 in Dongducheon, the city that is home to Camp Casey, near the border with North Korea.
A specialist with the same brigade received the same punishment for drinking in a bar on March 20 in Dongducheon.
A sergeant first class with the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade had to forfeit pay and received a written reprimand for visiting an off-post bar in Songtan, the area outside Osan Air Base, on March 31.
Abrams clamped down on civilians after a contractor who works at Eighth Army headquarters tested positive after he continued to go to restaurants in the local community despite restrictions on nonessential activities off base.

Still not as funny reading as the old USFK court martial posts.
Is this where the USFK mystery test came from?
If only they had been wearing one of those stylish mustache masks like the Genwral demonstrated…
I can see the Privates, and maybe even the Specialist, being that stupid. But the Sergeant First Class? That fool got off light.
I just read on the Hump’s FB page that a DA civilian from Yongsan – Camp Coiner received the 2 year USFK base ban for being in an off post bar on Apr 10-11. I wonder what happens if they were to lie and say they are an English teacher?
