The most amazing part, even considering how audacious this all is, is that he would try to tell someone he didn’t know he was still on active duty. That’s the part that stuck out the most to me.
No, the most amazing part was that he chose to live with them, who does that?!

I wonder if the story’s editor gave any forethought to the headline’s comical wording.Navy officer convicted of living with prostitutes in Bahrain partially gets off
His dismissal from the Navy stands.
Oh, I mean, I get that. It’s just cost effective. I mean, three apartments, three washers, three ovens, three water bills? It’s fine if you don’t ever want to retire.
This is the tip of the iceberg on the Bahrain shenanigans. Sailors were doing much worse.
Bahrain is a relative playground in the Gulf. Lots of Saudis go there to unwind without the heavy social controls in the Kingdom: lots of hotels with bars. At one time, two people with a supplemental housing allowance could afford to rent a villa (=large mansion with pool and gardens) in a gated community. There was a lot of socializing, house parties, and a good-sized expat community. The medical team was busy, and was the shore liaison for all the 5th Fleet and all visiting ships in the Gulf, including the carriers. The place had a work-hard/play-hard culture.
Good catch! Yeah, there was nothing 'partial' about that.
