Shortly after he left, a Sergeant came bursting through the door to see him sitting on his cot messing around with his new video camera he had just purchased to bring on deployment. His punishment was to get up, take his weapon and camera, and go sit in the community shower area and make sure no one else leaves their weapon in the shower for the night.
