Ft. Meade 61 s
iite Against C.
A Co. (HQ)     DISBANDED
With about 2 dozen troops, A
Co., Garrison (HQ Command), is
one of the smallest companies
on Ft. Meade, but it's i run by
one of the biggest turkeys -~
one Cpt. Gedzun. This clown
delights in rampaging through
the barracks announcing that
"this is my company!," ripping
down posters off people's walls,
and otherwise endearing himself to the GIs. Virtually
every low-ranking person in
the company has some grievance against him —- fo£ one
example, 2GIs had been illegally ordered not to associate. As a result, some of
the GIs started talking to
EPOS/MLP people about\ their
problems.
A few weeks ago, there were
allegedly some civilians in
the barracks in violation of
some strange company SOP.
Since Gedzun was on leave,
there was an acting CO., who
decided to try to stick SSGT
Al Caesar with an Article 15
for inviting the civilians
in. Calling other members of
the unit in one by one, he
persuaded several of them to
write out statements implicating Al. When one PFC refused to do so, he was threatened with an Article 15 —
for lying i In the meantime,
he tried to pressure Al to
confess. When he declined to
do so and asked to speak to
a lawyer, he was warned that
his "number [was] just about
up. "
Since the written statements
contained conflicting and
insufficient evidence, they
were "improved," typed up,
and the GIs were asked to
sign them.  All but one of
