Cage car thief convicted
ARNOLD, Missouri (AP) -- An airman stationed at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois has been convicted of stealing a 1989 Porsche 911 belonging to actor Nicolas Cage.
In January, Missouri Water Patrol divers found the $100,000 car at Lake of the Ozarks, submerged in 12 feet of water. It had been stolen a month earlier from a parking lot in Arnold, a St. Louis suburb, while in a transport trailer on its way from California to Pennsylvania.
Last week, a U.S. Air Force court-martial convicted Robert N. Clerkin, 20, of Arnold, of five charges, including larceny of a military identification card, larceny of the car, and conspiracy to steal, destroy and deprive Cage of the car.
Clerkin already has begun serving a six-month term in the stockade at Scott, said public affairs Lt. Janice Shelley. His sentence also includes a rank reduction, forfeiture in pay and a letter of reprimand.
Authorities also have charged Michael J. Grambling, 19, of Arnold, in the theft. A preliminary hearing in his case is scheduled for July 11.
Deputies in Camden County, where the car was pulled from the lake, verified the Porsche was Cage's by checking its serial number. Arnold police said the company that was transporting the vehicle when it was stolen also verified the owner's identity.

What? Convicted car thieves are permitted to remain in the military?? What kind of crap is that? There must be some mistake, 'cause that just doesn't sound right.

This guy is out of the military (aside from his stay in a military prison...)
I believe the other tack-ons are kind of the military equivalent to a civ. judge giving extra years on top of a life sentence - in other words, they are just extra tid-bits of punishment.
Maybe some of the lawyers (I bet the 911 forum has a lot of those) could clarify this a bit further
