CAMP LEJEUNE, NC — An unexpected fart during 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing's change-of-command ceremony on Tuesday led to a change of boxers for Sgt. Maj. Samuel Beckett, his wife Patti confirmed.
"Brand new ones he just got for Christmas from Duluth Trading Company," Patti told reporters. "$22.50 per pair and my Tide-To-Go pen isn't making a dent in it."
The incident occurred mid-ceremony as Beckett took over Sgt. Maj. Alfonso Vasques' position as wing sergeant major.
