The specialist finally surfaced the next morning, hung over and late for work.

"He had become inebriated and spent the night with the local national."

Please, tell us more!

"There would be no disciplinary action because the staff sergeant was on liberty and so technically not AWOL. More than likely his commanding officer spoke to him in extremely strong language."

A Marine officer, suspecting foul play or terrorism on the recent presidential visit to Hanoi, Vietnam, raised a security alarm after one of his men went missing for more than six hours, U.S. government sources tell ABC News.

The missing staff sergeant was a maintenance specialist assigned to the Marine One Presidential Helicopter detail. After a night out drinking with fellow Marines, the specialist "left his hotel on the back of a moped driven by a local national without telling anyone," a Marine Corps spokeswoman confirmed to ABC News.

"No disciplinary action..."

In my day, reclassing a helo tech to MOS 0311, Infantry Rifleman, wasn't considered to be a disciplinary action. They'd write it up as a "lateral move" for the good of the Corps.

On the other hand, this guy is going to become a legend!

Loved that movie.

Especially Gunnery Sargeant Hartman and that whole Parris Island scene.
