Richard Winegardner Jr., who told the American Forces Network that newly-arriving service members placed in the 14-day restriction of movement period have been using Bumble and Tinder in their pursuit of \u201chooking up with folks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re seeing some folks that &#8230; are like, \u2018OK, I\u2019m in here but I can just kind of sneak out,\u2019\u201d Winegardner said in the message, which was first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stripes.com\/news\/pacific\/dating-app-hookups-by-quarantined-troops-rile-enlisted-leader-for-us-forces-japan-1.639932\" target=_blank>reported by Stars and Stripes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without furnishing specifics, Winegardner was adamant that severe restrictions currently placed on base access for guests should never serve as a catalyst for troops to embark on covert sex ops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reckless behavior like that, he said, creates significant risk in terms of contracting COVID-19 and spreading it among the ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWow, big surprise when you are bringing that stuff back,\u201d he said. \u201cService members are getting popped left and right for going to places that they don\u2019t belong, in areas that they don\u2019t belong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The apparent inability of service members to exercise two weeks of abstinence is reminiscent of a level of anticipation not seen since the long-awaited return of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3l2oi-X8P38\" target=_blank>Colonel Angus to Shady Thicket<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter the hormone-fueled urges of those in uniform, Winegardner made clear that those in violation of current restrictions could face immediate retribution in the form of demotions and extra duty. Additionally, personnel who bring COVID-19 to installations through gross negligence could find themselves on the receiving end of a $5,000 to $7,000 fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat is coming to you, I\u2019m glad, because these are the things that are endangering us,\u201d he said. \u201cI know commanders are getting upset with the lack of adherence. Commanders are starting to get real serious about this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The head of U.S. Army Garrison Japan, Col. Thomas Matelski, echoed Winegardner while acknowledging the spike in personnel sightings in off-limits locations throughout Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt seems like a few members of our team are starting to lose focus,\u201d Matelski said, adding that indifference toward current regulations would result in \u201cquick and appropriate action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swiping left on sexual distraction while keeping eyes turned toward the mission has proven difficult, though, especially when \u201clove looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The message is clear: Troops have lost their reason, cause it\u2019s the season, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lH04al8QDh4\" target=_blank>for making whoopee<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bored military personnel under quarantine in Japan are reportedly prepared to risk it all in the name of coitus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":75412,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"single-post-observation-post","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":73,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[100,23,93,73,12,25,13,70],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3407],"class_list":["post-39473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-middle-column","category-military-culture","category-news","category-newsletters","category-off-duty","category-your-army"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"DKMFJ7M2YVBLPMB6635KHJNTEQ","arc_canonical_url":"\/off-duty\/military-culture\/2020\/08\/05\/leadership-slams-quarantined-troops-in-japan-for-arranging-sex-on-dating-apps\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"observation-post","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Leadership slams quarantined troops in Japan for arranging hookups on dating apps - Army Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bored military personnel under quarantine in Japan are reportedly prepared to risk it all in the name of coitus.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/off-duty\/military-culture\/2020\/08\/05\/leadership-slams-quarantined-troops-in-japan-for-arranging-sex-on-dating-apps\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Leadership slams quarantined troops in Japan for arranging hookups on dating apps\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Bored military personnel under quarantine in Japan are reportedly prepared to risk it all in the name of coitus.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/off-duty\/military-culture\/2020\/08\/05\/leadership-slams-quarantined-troops-in-japan-for-arranging-sex-on-dating-apps\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Army Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-08-05T20:38:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T07:22:59+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"J.D.
