Did he admit to the staring? Did he admit to being gay?
??
He didn't admit to being gay to me, but he finally admitted it during his session with the head shrinker. At the time that I wrote him up for sexual harrassment, it didn't matter if he was gay, or not. He was staring at a nekkid soldier in a manner that caused that soldier perceive that he was being sexually harrassed. Now, according to the regulation, a soldier only has to perceive sexual harrassment (this took hours, ok...LOL). The harrassed soldier claimed that he perceived harrassment and therefore had a legitimate complaint, according to Army regulations. After I looked at the regulation closely and found out that this wasn't the first incident, I had no choice but to agree that sexual harrassment had taken place. However, that didn't excuse him from assaulting another soldier, because he was obviously in no kind of physical danger, so that's the reason he went from E-4 to E-2 the next day.
That's why I say this is going to get tricky as hell for leaders in the miliary, especially in the combat arms where there are so many alpha males.
