CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — A motor transport mechanic just short of a year into his enlistment has vowed to mail in the remainder of his service time after receiving non-judicial punishment for a traffic arrest.
Pvt. Jim Jarlo was speeding on Interstate 5 and said he never saw the Oceanside officer attempting to pull him over; resulting in a fleeing and eluding charge added to the reckless driving.
The vow of defiance was made in the 1st Maintenance Battalion motor pool Wednesday afternoon after he was spotted in a state of extreme aggravation and was questioned about the missing chevrons on his collar.
