Navy fires admiral who peed pants, wandered hotel naked

http://www.sfgate.com/national/article/Navy-fires-admiral-who-peed-pants-wandered-hotel-6683263.php

The Navy answered the sea shanty question "What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor?" on Monday when it announced that it reprimanded a two-star admiral who was found wandering naked around a Florida beachfront hotel.

The Washington Post reported that Rear Adm. David F. Baucom, the director of strategy and policy at the U.S. Transportation Command, got so inebriated at a conference with defense contractors in April, that he hit his head on a barstool, peed his pants and needed an escort back to his hotel, according to an investigation by the Naval Inspector General.

At the hotel a few hours later, things only got worse. Still foggy-headed and now naked, Baucom exited his room, and the door closed behind him, locking automatically.

The rear admiral staggered about the grounds of the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club searching for a towel to wrap around his exposed bow and stern. Unfortunately, two female hotel guests spotted him severely out of uniform and alerted security.


Ted Nugent made admiral?

The Nuge likes 'em young... besides, they said peed his pants, NOT shit his pants.

He's a flag rank officer. He'll take an extended vacation for a couple of months and
then when he feels like it he'll take a job as a "consultant" for a defense contractor.

I'm pretty sure he's not the first person to walk through the wrong door in a hotel room. Once it locked, he was stuck. But that's a mistake anyone could make sober.

There was a guy who went every year and was always drunk at the end of the night. After he peed his pants in one of the hospitality suites in front of about a dozen people of both genders, he was asked not to return. He went through treatment several times. He is now fighting cancer.
