NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana — A Marine (search) received 14 months in a military brig for using a military credit card for an unauthorized six-figure shopping spree that included a car, a motorcycle and breast enhancement surgery.
Staff Sgt. Sherry Pierre worked for Marine Forces Reserve Headquarters Command (search) in New Orleans when she made $129,709 in improper purchases in 2000 and 2001, military officials said.
Pierre pleaded guilty to stealing from the government in a court- martial proceeding held in New Orleans in June, Capt. Jeff Pool (search), a spokesman for the Reserve, confirmed Sunday.
Pierre also received a bad- conduct discharge, a $30,000 fine and a reduction in rank from staff sergeant to lance corporal.
The verdict is on appeal, a process Pool said occurs automatically in such courts- martial.

She had help from someone else, not sure what is going to happen to that individual. But they worked together to circumvent the checks and balances, but you are essentially right. Sooner or later you will get caught. Greed. Its all about greed. Steal 2000 bucks of stuff just once, and chances are you will never get caught. Steal 2000 bucks of stuff every month and you number will be up sooner or later.Wicked Pilot wrote:I can't believe how people can do such stupid things and expect to get away with it.
