Former Chief Boatswain’s Mate Douglas R. Lusk pleaded guilty to two specifications of disorderly conduct during a special court-martial in San Diego March 15, according to Navy records.
The military judge sentenced Lusk to a rank reduction to E-5 and confinement for four months.
Under the terms of a plea agreement, Lusk waived his right to an administrative separation board.
Assigned to Marine Expeditionary Security Squadron 3, Lusk was charged with attempting the recordings at Naval Support Activity Bahrain from March to June of last year, according to his charge sheet.
