Two army officers are accused of turning a blind eye to inappropriate gestures

Air Force spokesman Maj. Trevor Reid said Monday the two officers had been charged over the past month.

The chain of command in this case used separate administrative measures as a disciplinary measure.

Administrative measures, which usually involve warnings and reprimands, were also imposed on a range of other officers, ranging from second lieutenant to major, Mr Reid added.

The charges and disciplinary measures stem from an informal meeting held on June 22 at one of Canada’s two largest air bases, 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alta. At these meetings, pilots assign nicknames or callsigns to new members over drinks.
