Bad Conduct' discharge Lifted by Navy
Secretary Prison Confinement Reduced
. WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 Secretary of the Navy Thomas today lifted the Bad conduct
discharge facing SSgt. Matthew CMcKeon for the "death match" of six Marine recruits t
Parris Island, S. C, last April. 7,
Thomas also reduced McKeon's court-martial punishment from nine months confinement ;
to three months-leaving him about four weeks to serve and set aside $270 fine.
The secretary upheld the!
drill sergeants eduction in
rank to private, notinc this
would involve "a much more
substantial financial loss" than
the fine.
The bad conduct discharge was
the severest penalty imposed in
the Aug. 1 sentence by a seven
man court that convicted Mc-
Keon of negligent homicide and
drinking on duty
In remitting this part of the
sentence, Thomas said, ' For htm
I believ'e that the real punishment
will be always the memory of
Ribbon Creek. . . .
Disciplinary March
The 1-year-old career Marine
from Worcester. Mass.. ordered
and led a night disciplinary march
last April S into marshlands at
the Parris Island training depot.
Six of the 74 members of the pla
toon drowned in Ribbon Creek.
Thomas affirmed the court's
opinion that McKeon "failed te ex-
r cnnifil ear fat the r.
ty of the men entrusted to him"
and, in upholding his reduction to
private, said "just one lapse re
sulting in such serious conse
quences is just one lapse too
many."
However, Thomas said a, bad
conduct discharge would "affect
his entire future life and rehabili
tatioi." and seemed "inappropri
ate." Rights Considered
The Navy secretary said uch
a discharge would wipe out most
of McKeon's veteran's ights and
benefits after excellent military
service of 11 years including com
bat action in Korea and World
War U.
'I have therefore decided.
Thomas said, "that he " all serve
confinement at hard labor for
three months. This, together with
the approximately six months of
Drevious confinement and restric
tion, will to U.praCical purposes
carry out the court t sentence."
Rear Adm. Chester C. Ward,
Navy judge advocate general, told
reporters that McKeon's three
months "confinement dates firom
the time the court-martial sen
tenc was announced, on Aug. 4
It-Enter. Brig ,
Ward said McKeon will now
have to leave his ho.ne near the
Marin Base, where he has been
living "in the status of arrest"
with his wife and three children,
and serv the rest of his time in
the Parris Island brig. Hs confine
