Jerrod M. Glass guilty of cruelty and maltreatment, destruction of personal property, assault, and violating orders on the proper treatment of recruits. </p> <p>Glass, who was relieved of duty as a drill instructor in February, faces as many as 10 years of confinement, dishonorable discharge, reduction in rank, and forfeiture of pay and benefits. A sentencing hearing that began shortly after the verdict was scheduled to continue Thursday morning. </p> <p>Telephone calls to Glass' attorney and his family were not immediately returned. </p> <p>Glass, who volunteered for two tours in Iraq, had worked as a drill instructor for less than a year when the mistreatment occurred at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot near downtown San Diego. </p> <p>Glass, 25, was accused of ordering one recruit to jump headfirst into a trash can and then pushing him farther into the container. He was also accused of striking recruits with a tent pole and a heavy flashlight. None of the recruits was seriously injured. </p> <p>Glass' parents have said that their son did not act maliciously, and that they believe he was being scapegoated for commonly accepted practices. </p> <p>During the court-martial, witnesses testified Glass routinely stomped on recruits' toiletry kits, breaking razors and soap containers inside, for minor infractions like not displaying name tags properly. </p> <p>They said Glass and another drill instructor would line recruits up after meals and force them to down liters of water from their canteens in a ritual they referred to as &quot;waterbowling.&quot; </p> <p>The jury convicted Glass of eight counts: two counts of cruelty and maltreatment, three counts of destruction of personal property, one count of assault and two counts of violating orders. </p> <p>Glass was one of three drill instructors charged with abusing recruits. Sgt. Robert C. Hankins and Sgt. Brian M. Wendel are facing special courts-martial on related charges. A fourth instructor, Sgt. Joseph Villagomez, received administrative punishment. </p> <p>About 17,000 recruits graduate each year from the depot, one of two Marine training depots nationwide. The other is in Parris Island, S.C. </p> http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Aztlan101/5671 http://community.victoriaadvocate.com/home/Blog/Aztlan101/5671 Happy birthday Marines!!
