Military men face stiff sanctions if caught firing weapons during New Year's Eve revelry --AFP

From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 23): Military men face stiff sanctions if caught firing weapons during New Year's Eve revelry --AFP
 
Strict penalties await military personnel who will be found to have indiscriminately fired their service weapons during the coming New Year's Eve revelry, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) spokesperson Col. Resituto Padilla said Tuesday.

"If a soldier is found to have indiscriminately fired his weapon (during his trial), he can be separated from the service and lose all his benefits," he added.

Padilla also said that superiors or commanding officers of erring troopers will also be made answerable to the chain-of-command.

With this development, unit commanders are required to inspect the firearm and ammunition load of all of their personnel, as well as shortly after the New Year's Eve revelry, to determine if these were illegally expended or fired.
