Our skipper, both in my squadron, and the old man on the Carrier didn’t allow drinking in Hong Kong or Singapore; but allowed it in the gulf, Australia and Tasmania.
My squadron CO was a real POS. If I ever saw him, I would walk right up to him about 3” from his face and tell him ‘FU”! Dude was a collasal D.
As are most officers from the Naval Academy. Common theme there.
Odd.
Must have thought it wouldn’t be a good idea to have a bunch of 18 yr olds running around drunk in those countries lol

Well, quick google search answered that.

I was at Ft. Bliss (in El Paso) on the Mexico Border. So there is a special rule in there for that.

They've actually come off that version of the story. Apparently there was a third party involved, no relation and he was the trigger-man. The 14 year old left the company of his 19 year old brother on Sunday and was seen with the other man.
