Another report of special operators behaving badly, this time in Oki
By: Courtney Mabeus 17 hours ago
Japanese authorities on the island of Okinawa busted four sailors late Sunday for allegedly boozy and boorish behavior, the latest scandal to roil California-based Naval Special Warfare Command.
“Four Naval Special Warfare Command service members were arrested in Okinawa and are being detained for various charges. The incident is still under investigation," said command spokesman Lt. Matthew Stroup in an email to Navy Times.
According to the Okinawa Times on Tuesday, at least three sailors — one of them shirtless — entered a tavern in the coastal resort village of Onna around 9 p.m. local time Sunday and demanded info about a “strip bar.”
The service members were “out of control” and threw things around the restaurant before fleeing when they heard a police siren, a 25-year-old manager told the newspaper.
A police officer chased down one sailor who was accused of trespassing on private property and by 11:30 p.m. three other service members were apprehended and charged with obstructing police duties because they allegedly began pounding on a patrol car, according to Okinawa Times.
In the wake of the arrests, Fleet Activities Okinawa spokesman Robert Purdy referred Navy Times to Japanese police, who could not be reached for comment late Tuesday night local time.
“The Navy is cooperating fully with the Japanese investigation,” Purdy added in an email.
It was not immediately clear if the sailor allegedly engaged in what the Okinawa newspaper called a home invasion was tied to the incident involving the other three personnel but it reported that they all were from a Hawaii-based Navy command.
Naval Special Warfare Group 3 is a tenant at Naval Station Pearl Harbor and it includes SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team 1.
SEAL delivery teams operate from small submerged vehicles launched from special platforms mounted on submarines called dry deck shelters. Navy divers help deploy and recover the vehicles from the subs.
Naval Special Warfare’s Stroup declined to elaborate on the incident or reveal the duties of the arrested sailors, except to say that the command would not name the suspects.
"We do not publicly identify our personnel due to the sensitive nature of their work, and for the protection of current and future missions, their teammates, and their families,” he wrote.
But Okinawa police already had released a statement identifying the alleged trespasser as Desmond Ruffin, 23; and Mark Elam, 30; Colter Krebill, 21; and Todd Casselman, 23, as the sailors collared for clobbering the police cruiser, Stars and Stripes reported.

In the old days of pre-politically correct submariners...that would have been called "Saturday night"!
At least that's the stories I heard....no personal experience of course.

Yeah, Ok. I guess we'll just have to wait on the book and the movie.

I think it has something to do with their uniforms. I haven't worn a white shirt since 7th grade, but they have full top to bottom whites. With a rain catcher hat! What's up with that?
