For anyone wondering, here's what the article says he was punished for...
...Tomko admitted to Rubin that he exchanged inappropriate Facebook messages with the female corporal under his command between May 2014 and August 2015. Some of the exchanges contained sexual content. Tomko also pleaded guilty to having a subordinate obtain testosterone for him, violating a military protective order not to contact his wife, and showing up to his May 6 arraignment with a blood alcohol more than three times the Virginia state limit of 0.08. Prosecutors noted that at the time of his arraignment, Tomko was living behind the enlisted barracks at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. He drove to the courtroom while drunk as Marines were getting in their physical training and heading to chow.

My heart goes out to this Marine. Living in the barracks I saw many Marines that would just drink to forget and it sounds like he is doing the same. If he is suffering from PTSD, then this should be treated as a mental health case. I think his reaction in the courtroom confirms that this is a broken man.
