Soldier discharged for 'having his Goddamned hands in his pockets', says CSM
FT LEONARD WOOD, MO - A soldier with the 318th Military Police Company is being processed out of the Army after being found by his Sergeant Major as having "his goddamn hands in his pockets," according to his discharge paperwork.
According to his unit, Sergeant Thomas Burnette is pending separation for failing to maintain the Army's standards. His separation comes at a time when the Army is cracking down on maintaining a "soldierly" appearance.
The guidelines of soldierly appearance are not entirely clear, but in a memo penned by Command Sergeant Major of the Army Raymond Chandler, the top enlisted leader pushed for non-commissioned officers Army-wide to crack down on "soldiers looking like bags of smashed assholes."
