THE PENTAGON — Embattled Hollywood icon and pudding pop aficionado Bill Cosby will be forced to resign at the pay-grade of O-5, reflecting his many years of service to the U.S. Navy as an honorary chief, a Navy spokesman revealed today.
Cosby, who enlisted in the Navy in 1956, was discharged honorably after four years as a seaman. He was convicted last week on three counts of dishonorably discharged semen.
“We announce with heavy hearts that, after disgracing himself and his service, the Navy can no longer affiliate itself with Mr. Cosby,” said Navy spokesman Dillon West. "He is being punished accordingly, by being forced to accept benefits and pension at the O-5 pay-grade.”
