A Florida man and FabScout model has been recommended for discharge from the U.S. Navy ROTC program for doing gay pornography.

 

Midshipman Andrew Koch, a FabScout model known as Patrick Hunter, is in the third year of a four-year scholarship service contract with the Navy.

 

Last week, a Personnel Review Board (PRB) unanimously determined that Koch’s pornography shoots were grounds for severing his ties with the corps, as they were “inconsistent with good order and discipline,” and “inconsistent with what the Navy deems morally acceptable.”

 

On July 27, Koch was informed by a commanding officer, T.M. Calabrese, that he was being placed on an involuntary leave of absence, while he was being investigated “for an alleged serious moral offense that brings discredit upon the naval service,” which could lead to “disenrollment form the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps.”

 

A week later the Board concurred, advising Koch that he would also be liable to return all tuition, fees, and educational expenses incurred during his tenure, which could total nearly $26,000.

The various armed forces have various codes of conduct which apply to people associated with them (whether as actually servicemen/women or as independent contractors) and, whether for intelligent reasons or not, the standard this guy breached was being a porn actor. I don't believe that the issue of "gay" versus "straight" had anything at all to do with this event.

Bob's correct, there is an admission requirement to have good moral standards for all branches of the ROTC.

One could argue that looking at porn for a non-married man may be healthy, but I doubt they would buy that argument even though, most psychologist might agree. The joke, of course, is that while you must have a high moral character, you must also be willing to kill on command.

 

The Navy:

The NROTC Program was established to develop midshipmen mentally, morally and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, and loyalty, and with the core values of honor, courage and commitment in order to commission college graduates as naval officers who possess a basic professional background, are motivated toward careers in the naval service, and have a potential for future development in mind and character so as to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship and government.

The Airforce:

Have high moral character.
