Odom pleaded guilty to a charge of obtaining services under false pretenses, according to the Judge Advocate General Corp\u2019s results of trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A military judge sentenced him to a bad conduct discharge, demotion to E-3, an $1,800 fine and 180 days behind bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of a pretrial agreement, however, Odom won\u2019t serve more than 90 days in confinement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also agreed to waive his right to contest an administrative separation board, according to the Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Odom\u2019s attorney has not responded to a request for comment submitted through the Navy\u2019s Defense Service Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2019\/12\/05\/san-diego-sailors-charged-in-seaworld-ticket-scam\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Dolphins.credit-SeaWorld.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">San Diego sailors charged in SeaWorld ticket scam<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">One of the sailors already confessed to being a ticket flipper, according to his plea deal.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Military prosecutors had accused Odom of conspiring from February 2018 to April 2018 with Engineman Fireman Recruit Christopher Viray and Engineman Fireman Nygell T. Sebastien \u2014 all assigned to Amphibious Construction Battalion 1 \u2014 to take advantage of SeaWorld San Diego\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/seaworldentertainment.com\/programs\/waves-of-honor\/\" target=_blank>Waves of Honor<\/a> program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It provides one free admission annually to service members or veterans and up to three of their dependents, according to Odom\u2019s charge sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Waves of Honor site requires service members and veterans to verify their identity online and later show ID at the gate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prosecutors said the three used the personal information of other service members to score the Waves of Honors tickets and then sold them to others who were neither in the military nor dependents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Viray pleaded guilty at a November court-martial trial to pretending individuals were his dependents to get them into SeaWorld, according to Navy court records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was sentenced to 127 days confinement and a bad conduct discharge, but his plea agreement did not allow for a punitive discharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although initially charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Sebastien was disciplined later at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jag.navy.mil\/legal_services\/legal_services_faqDEFENSE.htm\" target=_blank>Captain\u2019s Mast<\/a>, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy
