There is absolutely NO excuse for falling asleep...whether its manning an LP, pulling meaningless guard duty at a barracks or performing ATC functions...NO effing EXCUSE...fire the SOB!

No Chris...no FOX news...just a lot of years in the US Army...HUA!
"Suspensions"? These should be automatic terminations. You sign up to be an air traffic controller then you sure as hell should know the job responsibilities and what you're getting yourself into. You can't stay awake then take a daytime desk job somewhere and give the position to those who REALLY want to be a controller. This is just blatant irresponsibility and immaturity.

Nothing like guard duty on the back shift on a cold, windy Amarillo night around a barracks quad with an empty gun. Government logic is the same anywhere. Suspension (without pay, maybe as a warning for a first offense, but fire them the next time, no holds barred).
Hey I predicted it! I knew they would do something like this!
