A pair of Army drill instructors have been punished for misconduct. They pleaded guilty and will be discharged from the Army. The two will also serve prison time and have been demoted to private.

Their actions were reported by a trainee just before graduation. The incident occurred at a Missouri base. Further details are available from Army officials.

The drill instructors were found to have engaged in improper relationships with new recruits and attempted to cover up their actions. They faced separate trials and entered into plea agreements.
