Yes, thank you for getting your free education by signing up for ROTC and then deciding you didn't want to do the job your were trained and paid already to do.

I'm all for fighting the power, but really, why sign up for the ROTC if you're not gonna carry it to the end? That's just skeevy.

military court martial on Feb. 5, 2007 and a pre-trial hearing on Jan. 4, 
2007.
