These blotters are open source because they are published on the USFK website every month:

If USFK doesn't want people to read the blotters then they shouldn't publish it on their website. Plus many of this cases are published in the Stars & Stripes newspaper and even they have been publishing the court martial results in the newspaper when it is released on the USFK website.

Do you have the permission of the PAO, Provost Marshal and the USFK JAG to post these offenders names? Though they might have published these blotters, using there names under the privacy act is against the law.

The jurisdiction was in Inchoen District Court which may means that they were caught by the aiport custom officials when try to enter the country from shopping trip somewhere. And usually the women rather than the men who usually try to go after cheap brand name Knock off than men would. But still a Major and Senior NCO getting caught for violating customs law? They are both mid career professionals and they should have known better not to violate the host country's law.

Could be that they were trying to mail massive amounts of knockoff items back to the states..but I think it's usually the military that nabs you for that.

IHB,

You are probably right. Hopefully USFK issues some kind of statement about what happened just to warn others to avoid such things from happening again.

In the past I have seen "Trademark Violations" mean they were coming through Incheon, often after an MWR trip to China or Thailand and were carryng too many necklaces or bags or the like. The customs guys usually are good about it unless you cop an attitude. I have seen an entire MWR group detained for a more thorough search due to the arrogance of one member who mouths off to an official.

A female Major and a female SFC? Humm, I guess the "sugar and spice and everything nice" theory is a bust! Nice to see PC taking effect at last.

There are a lot of NCO's who drive around drunk routinely. I'm glad there's finally some semblance of a crackdown.
