Jones tell it, what happened in his bedroom one night last month was purely innocuous: Another male sailor came by to watch &#8220;The Vampire Diaries,&#8221; and they both dozed off in the same bed. &#8220;That is the honest, entire story,&#8221; Jones said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Personally, I think everyone who falls asleep while watching &#8220;The Vampire Diaries&#8221; should be booted from the military because it is so mega-awesome only morons can fall asleep while it&#8217;s on the television. Of course, the pair were at the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command, near Charleston, S.C. and we all know how &#8220;those people&#8221; are (wink, wink).<\/p>\n<p>According to the article, Jones has been charged with &#8220;willful failure to exhibit professional conduct&#8221; which it certainly is. A sailor found sacked out in his bunk with a female sailor would probably face the same charge whether sex had happened or not. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;The trouble started shortly after midnight on Feb. 6, when Jones&#8217;s roommate, Tyler Berube, returned from an out-of-town trip.<\/p>\n<p>As he opened the door, Berube saw Jones &#8220;asleep in bed with another male sailor,&#8221; according to a statement that Berube gave to investigators. Berube stated both were wearing only boxer shorts but got dressed and left after he woke them up. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Jones disputes the fact that both were wearing only boxer shorts. He said he was wearing pajamas &#8211; that doesn&#8217;t help. Like I said, it&#8217;s unprofessional behavior even if it was a woman in the sack with him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing illustrates the problems facing the military in the post-DADT era than this article from the &hellip; <a title=\"The post-DADT Navy\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=22497\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The post-DADT Navy<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22497\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
