Of course it did, right here,

One thing I've been shown in the past 6 months is just how much high-school level drama and gossip goes on in the lower ranks of the military. gossip and rumor are rampant. I believe it is mostly just among the newer guys as the more seasoned ones have learned to recognize and ignore it.
so IF this conversation even really happened, it's just another one of those rumor mill things that spread like wildfire, things that are generally BS from top to bottom.
edit:
And to add that someone thinks a letter from their CO would shield them of some offense under UCMJ is kinda funny in itself
