Beso,

A first pass reading of the rules for SGLI seems to indicate that his beneficiaries will, indeed, be paid.

The catch is that if he did this as part of a larger wrongdoing, they may be able to stop a check. I am hoping that AFOSI is auditing everything this kid ever did while in uniform for such a thing.

Trouble is, he was a member of A Protected Class (TM). If there was any kind of evidence trail, it was probably binned every time it popped its head up.

Like, trannyfestos? Pepper spraying a pregnant woman? Attempted assassination of a comedian on-stage?
