CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — A Marine sergeant major has been charged with driving under the influence soon after his unit celebrated a month without any alcohol-related incidents, sources confirmed today.

Sgt. Maj. Flavio Perez was arrested Wednesday for allegedly driving with a .12% blood-alcohol content and punching a police horse in the face after getting drinks with his Staff NCO friends off-base.

"I knew this guy was military right away by his moto haircut, but he looked a bit older than our usual pick-ups," said Jacksonville PD officer Jamison Rondeau as several of his coworkers snickered and cackled behind him. "I had a feeling he was a staff NCO. You should've seen the look on his face when I told him to call his first sergeant."

Pentagon casualties, metric improvement, and Fat Leonard’s least dignified phase.

A State Department map that relocated most of Africa, one ambitious government travel card, and 5,200 medical students moved from dorms that definitely do not have mold.
