People like this guy are a special kind of stupid:
An Army captain saw his 19-year military career end abruptly after he was found guilty of sexual misconduct toward female subordinates and lying to investigators about his actions.
Capt. Clyde E. Callwood, former commander of the 520th Maintenance Company, was sentenced Wednesday to 15 months in prison and dismissal from the service.
Military judge Col. Donna M. Wright handed down the sentence after finding him guilty earlier in the day of attempting to have improper relationships with two female subordinates, aggravated sexual contact, making a false official statement and obstruction of justice.
“This case is about an arrogant Army captain who’s abused his position” and tried to “force himself” on two low-ranking female soldiers, prosecutor Capt. Scott Hughes told Wright in a closing argument.
Callwood fancied himself “a ladies’ man,” said Hughes, but “in reality he’s not a ladies man, he’s a sexual predator.” [Stars & Stripes]
You have to be quite the idiot to be one year away from retirement and then sexually harrass soldiers when you are their commander, especially when you had sexual assault allegations brought against you before that you got away with. Good riddance and enjoy Leavenworth.

He wanted sex; if he’s going to Leavenworth he’s apt to get it, in the end.

Perhaps the fact that he only made Captain after 19 years speaks for itself. Definately a loser.

This guy is obviously a douchebag, but I have known of more than one officer that retired as a Captain and had VERY distinguished careers. They were all prior-enlisted, or warrant…

Dan85, I stand corrected.

I knew this guy personally and all I can say the newspaper made him look better than he actually was.

What if it is all a lie, this man’s entire future is ruined. God and 4 others really know what happened, the rest of us can only speculate. Let’s not judge for it is not for us to do so. Instead of throwing stones either way, we should bow our heads, humble our hearts and just pray for both sides, they are all in serious need of prayer. Justice will truely be served on judgement day one way or another.

Those of us who don’t believe in a sentient God can’t wait for the Judgment Day that is never going to come. That’s why temporal justice is needed.

Anyone want to speculate as to why a man with a BS in criminal justice and an MA in human resources would knowingly destroy his career, reputation, and be sent to jail after completing 19 years of service? Fear of being sucessful? Yeah, dumb thought I know. But its what came to mind.

It’s quite possible that he had been engaging in this kind of behavior for years before a couple of women finally had the courage to file complaints. If a man fondles a woman, it’s his word against hers. Without a witness, I don’t know that I’d come forward unless the sexual harassment was an ongoing problem, and I felt seriously threatened.

Kingkitty,
One of the reasons nothing gets solved in USFK and the dirtbags continue their dirty business as usual is because everything is always so secretive… and the apathetic majority don’t man-up to bring attention to the bad apples that ruin it for everyone.
If this guy was a dirtbag, you should be detailing everything you know about him AND his enablers.
In fact, you should have done it at the first appropriate opportunity BEFORE he came to public attention… instead of making a few cryptic comments after his scumbaggedness got so big and out of control that somebody higher up was forced to do something about it to cover their own rear end…
Somewhere out there is someone else you know of that is a complete scumbag doing their small part to weaken America and its military while countering the correct things that you have worked hard to improve.
Now is the time to speak up… and bring some attention that derails their career of screwing it up for everyone else… before they do it for 19 years.
That goes for all of you.
11:59 am on June 21st, 2008 14
Chickenhead, I have read a few people asking you for some details about your criptic comments about corruption. You are heavy on the jokes but thin on the detalis. For example who is this guy banging the 15yo?
Now is the time to speak up
5:54 pm on June 21st, 2008 15
9:50 pm on June 21st, 2008 16
Chick…things were brought to the attention of EO and others but not until he caught his STD did people begin to take the victims seriously
11:53 am on June 22nd, 2008 17
Awww, shattered…
When matters of wrongdoing in USFK come up, it always comes back to, “Let’s change the topic to ChickenHead.”
In doing the right thing, am I that much more interesting than the guys who are doing the wrong thing?
Think about it.
But, let’s address your statement… yet again.
I am not on base/post on a daily basis so I don’t see much of the fraud, waste, abuse, corruption, etc firsthand. For the most part, I meet contractor and military members socially rather than professionally… so I am not submerged in the daily gossip and inner workings of base/post life.
Further, I am known by a name other than ChickenHead and I don’t single-mindedly pursue USFK corruption as I do here… nor do I even bring it up.
I do pick up hints of where it can be found (if someone was interested in looking) based on what people say to me and to each other… but I certainly can’t interrogate those around me.
I infer other examples based on commonly available information (such as my buddy easily barfining a girl last weekend indicates that open prostitution and human trafficking still exists in Songtan… or AAFES-only products openly for sale in Korean shops suggest black marketing… etc Etc ETC).
And, people give me information with various levels of detail. Frequently, the more detail I get, the bigger chance they ask me not to share those details… probably for the same reasons many people here don’t post what they know.
Let’s look at the case of the 15 year-old…
The guy who was getting 15 year-old tail (presumably) isn’t bragging about it right now. I would love to post his name and company as I feel it would bring the right attention to this story and force Osan to take action.
But the father asked me not to… and his reasons are valid.
The father would prefer that his name and family situation is not the hot topic of gossip in his professional community. More importantly, his daughter doesn’t need everyone in her high school to know the deal. Once this guy’s name is in the open, the question of, “So, whose daughter were you banging?” by friends and co-workers becomes very likely. It goes from there.
For this reason, as per the father’s request, I told this story without any names in hopes somebody in a position to do something would see it. I made the offer (as I now will again) to supply the father’s contact information to anybody who has an official e-mail address (embassy, military). Then it can be resolved first-hand.
As it is, Osan law enforcement leadership is well aware of the situation, including everybody’s names, and has done nothing… much like the nothing they do with open prostitution, human trafficking, GIs illegally buying/importing counterfeit goods, black marketing… etc. (The seem to do a good job with curfew, though… and suspect raape accusations.)
By bringing some attention to this story, I was hoping some up-and-coming “leader” would see this as a good chance to put a check in the Osan’s Zero Tolerance on Pedopphilia box.
Guess not.
If, out of frustration, the father changes his mind, rest assured I’ll be the first to post it here…
…then, shattered, your burning, yet ultimately unproductive, curiosity will be satisfied.

If you don’t want to name names, how can you expect others to?
Now is the time to speak up.
10:33 pm on June 22nd, 2008 19
Kingkitty…
Ahhhh… the plot thickens. Now we have a case of EO and a chain of command ignoring the pleas of victims. Now that he is a convicted “sexual predator”, perhaps it is time to look at why he was protected… and by whom.
shattered,
Excellent logic. I avoid smoking pole… but I don’t expect that from you. Cool?
If you want to troll, I’ll usually bite.
Heh.

As stupid is as stupid do’es.

he was enlisted then he went ocs thats y he was a cpt, he was my old commander
11:24 pm on July 3rd, 2008 22
I know this guy pretty well. I worked for him at Bliss and at Humphreys. He’s cool just make you work alot. I also know the main so called victim involved personally. She is no damn saint. She had a thing for Cpt. Callwood and wanted to be like us, dating officers. I have emails from her on this matter. I also 9mo. left. We were told not to get involve and not to talk about it. Once I am out it will be publically known and I can tell you he wasn’t messing with her. He didn’t give her any play. He also didn’t do it. She’s my girl, but this was messed up.
11:34 am on July 4th, 2008 23
Why was he not charged with adultery, he is married? This is his 4th account of sexual misconduct towards females. His commander must be commended for finally putting this predator in a place where treatment is possible (only if he want to be cured). Apparently, he used his rank to abuse females and that is very sad.
Who gave him the STD? This type of conduct surely exposes others (males and females)to STD’s or even HIV. For all those who protected him, you are lucky he did not get to your wives or daughters like he did mine. Just think of all the females who because of fear of retaliation did not file charges but became a victim of captain callwood. AKA “ABASI”
11:52 am on July 4th, 2008 24
To “ALL FACTS…” THE EMAILS YOU HAVE ARE FROM CAPTAIN CALLWOOD, IT WAS PART OF HIS GAME…CHECK-MATE. DON’T CONTINUE TO LIVE IN A FANTASY WORLD. FROM A PROFESSIONAL PERSPECTIVE YOUR STATEMENT, wanted to be like us, dating officers. I have emails from her on this matter. I also 9mo. left. We were told not to get involve and not to talk about it. Once I am out it will be publically known and I can tell you he wasn’t messing with her. He didn’t give her any play. He also didn’t do it. She’s my girl, but this was messed up.
QUESTION:
WHAT IS A DATING OFFICER?
IF SHE IS YOUR “GIRL” WHY IS SHE EMAILING YOU HER DATING DESIRES?
THE FACT THAT YOU MENTION YOU HAVE 9MO LEFT MEANS YOUR ARE GUILTY OF THE CRIME.
YOU STATE THAT ONCE YOU ARE OUT YOU ARE GOING PUBLIC…WHERE ARE YOU NOW? NORMAL PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE RETIRING IN 9MO OR ET’SING IN 9MO; BUT YOU SAY “OUT”.
YOU STATE “SHE’S MY GIRL” WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I THINK YOU TO ARE A PREDATOR WHO WAS ONCE AGAIN REJECTED.
11:56 am on July 4th, 2008 25
Post the emails if this isnt some pile of BS.
CALLWOOD —> GUILTY!!!
1:24 pm on July 5th, 2008 26
GOD IS A FORGIVING GOD,REGARDLESS OF WHO IS WRONG. TIME WILL TELL SOON ENOUGH NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKE IT WILL BE MADE KNOWN FROM EITHER SIDE. YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW. IN STEAD OF JUDGING EITHER SIDE LETS PRAY FOR THEM. BECAUSE THEY NEED IT!!!!
3:07 pm on July 7th, 2008 27
to the left you need to email me
1:50 pm on September 3rd, 2008 28
TO: TO-THE-LEFT
The emails I have are from the victim known as Jenkins. She used my computer and left information on there. They are definitely from her. My NCO, told me not to get involved. He told me to wait until I get out. She also had postings on her myspace which I did turn over. I asked her about it and all she could do is laugh. I am not saying he is a saint, but I know for a damn fact that he didn’t do it. So make sure you have your info correct before you try to check someone. I make sure I will give you a shout out when this story hits the fan. Check this!
