Appalling new audit results released today. Seems more than $1,000,000.00 was charged to Pentagon credit cards on casinos and adult entertainment. Budget cuts? Personnel cuts? Where's the disconnect?

Pretty much a yawner. You'll always have the 0.5 percenter abuse something. Considering how small the number is against the volume of money flushing through the GTCC program, this looks more like a success story. Words like "appalling" tell me there's improper journalism going on in an organization with an agenda.

I'm more torqued over the disparity in discipline. We've had cases where the kid just grabbed the wrong card out of his pocket for condoms at WalMart get hammered. Then I had one Army civilian transfer to me use the card to buy Christmas gifts, new motor for his boat, and then refused to pay the bill. He got hammered less than Condom Kid.

The disparity in discipline and conduct is indeed the bigger issue. The money misspent is the symptom.

Were these CTCC improprieties done in an AC, RC, or NG unit?

Ohh, interesting. You know, I found a review of live casinos at https://casinohex.jp/online-casinos/live/ that seems quite thorough. It discusses various platforms that offer live casino games, focusing on the quality of their live streaming, the professionalism of their dealers, and the overall immersive experience. If anyone has tried these live casinos, could you share which ones you believe stand out in terms of real-time interaction and game variety?

Swing By, Out Here To Vegas; Most Of The Casinos Will Give Free Lessons To Their Hotel Guests. You'll Learn The Rules ~ At Their Casino ~ And The Odds Of Winning; But Most Of All, How To Gracefully Lose Your Money To Them..... NOW: Seriously?...When One Lives Out Here, We Find The Casinos With The Best Rules, More Favoring The Players, And Where The Slots Have Larger Pay-Outs For The Same Amounts Played. ... And There Can Be A HUGE Difference....But Here One Clue: Don't Gamble On The Strip, The Machines Are Much Tighter, The Odds Of Winning Are Less, And The Rulers Of Play Slant Even MORE In The Casinos Direction. Either Play Down Town Or Outside The City, In What Are Called "The Locals Casinos"...Everything's Better But, Although You May Lose Your Money; You'll Lose It Slower & Enjoy Playing Longer.....AND Only Gamble With Funds You Can Afford To Lose.

So they tell us that's the plan Sir. Only because they got caught. Therein lies the issue. No integrity. If they hadn't got caught, they would not have paid it back. No integrity.

I for one would not mix gambling and scantily clothed women with government funds or the card. There must be regulations that back up what I say. The expressed purpose of the is for official government travel.
