SAN DIEGO, CA – A Marine sergeant is facing administrative separation after being convicted of wearing a baseball hat indoors, sources confirmed this morning.
The conviction for Sgt. Michael Erickson stems from a Apr. 22 incident at the commissary aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif.
“It was Saturday morning,” said Erickson in his testimony, “and my hair was a little messy so I decided to put a baseball cap on.” Erickson then drove from his Mira Mesa apartment to the commissary to buy groceries.
“The baby was out of formula and I had thought it would be a good idea to have some single Marines over for lunch. Some of those guys get lonely on Sundays so I just wanted to help fellow Marines out.”
