Word around IAD is that nothing is to happen to the commander of the Academy. The CR is to be quashed and no discipline is to be attached to the illegal bringing of unauthorized persons and firearms onto an airfield as part of a groupie invasion. And who has declared it to be so?
Mrs. Shortshanks.
Ruth's excuse is that she ran it by a certain ADS, who said it sounded like a very bad idea and she ought not to do it. But since it wasn't a direct order, she claims she doesn't have to answer for her command decision. Look for the ADS to be dumped shortly.
The other reason to kill the investigation seems to be that it wasn't just Brust and Bea getting the free tickets via shady means. It was EIGHT different exempts who got to attend the concert gratis. Putting almost 10% of his exempt staff in the trick bag doesn't seem like anything J-Fed wants to do, seeing as how the best man at his wedding is one, Maggie Daley's buddy is another, and Shortshanks has enough scandal on his plate at the moment.
These are supposed to be the people setting examples for officers that accepting favors, gifts, or bribes is unethical and illegal. But all they're doing is demonstrating that two tiers of discipline will forever separate the lowly peons from the political overlords.
