and fit for duty....
One Saturday night when I was in Korea, the new Commanding General (Gary Luck a KSU alum) called an Alert. He wanted the names of every soldier who didn't have a Pass that either missed the formation or came through the gate without said Pass. He also gave a **** test to every officer and NCO to determine if they were drunk or drugged.
Anyone out without a pass received a Field Grade Article 15, any officer or NCO that failed the drug/alcohol test was Court Martialed, the enlisted got a Field Grade Article 15.
We lost 4 senior NCO's to Court Martial (including a First Sergeant)
You can bet people straightened up after that!
