Situation Report
CAMP HANSEN, OKINAWA — Marine Staff Sgt. Vincent Heiserman is facing the prospect of court martial today after failing to give Marines under his charge a weekend safety brief, according to his command.
Sources confirmed that more than a dozen Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) will face non-judicial punishment (NJP) after a series of reckless events that occurred last weekend in Kin, a town located immediately outside the perimeter gate that is a common liberty hangout for Marines off duty.
Heiserman will have an Article 32 hearing to determine if he should be referred to a general court martial for what his commanding officer, Capt. Norman Holmes, has called "a goddamn failure of leadership."
"He put people's lives in danger," Holmes said. "Sweet dreams, son."
