COVID dropped a lot of units (this one included) to week on/week off rotations, so troop numbers were lower than usual. But something like the Arms Room would always need to be manned.
He was probably the "highest ranking" person that day. Her sister said she was very loyal to the chain of command. She probably felt she had to do whatever he said. He used his power.
Maybe he had already got busted. I've never seen a E4 in charge of an Arms RM. Commander's can be jailed behind things that happen in the Arms Rm. I've only ever seen E5 and above in charge of an Arms Rm. and soldiers. Most of the time the NCOIC is a E7/E8. Explains why things happened when they could have been avoided. That entire COC should be relieved.
Usually they promote E4's to Corporal for such a task; especially if he had soldiers.He was probably the "highest ranking" person that day. Her sister said she was very loyal to the chain of command. She probably felt she had to do whatever he said. He used his power.
I had that same convo, but he was a Specialist, every time his name was mentioned today.
Everyone don't have access to the arms RM. Staff duty even have to do security checks on it and log it after the end of work days. Anyone, regardless of rank can't just go there and open it.He was probably the "highest ranking" person that day. Her sister said she was very loyal to the chain of command.

Yes - the media thread is current.
This just leads me to still believe he scheduled this unofficially. But we should get answers very soon.
I totally agree! And it broke my heart listening to Tim Miller get choked up about Mayra begging him for answers.
I get that. Just hard to believe an E4 was in charge of an Arms Rm. and a soldier/s. They usually promote them to Corporal because that's considered to be an NCO, but is actually the same pay still as an E4. Never ever saw a E4 in charge of a PFC and below. Why they promote them to Corporal. But not surprising I guess considering the Unit.
Yes. Freshly could mean within months IMO
They failed VG big time. With a Specialist of all things. Explains a lot.
Yeah, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised. That still probably wouldn’t have been enough for a murder charge, but it would nail them once Vanessa’s body was found.
I don’t think the family made any difference in the murder investigation itself. Where they can make a difference, is drawing attention to the plight of female service members when it comes to sexual harassment.
You better save this - we will get asked tomorrow
