This week we learned all about the Navy! Per the usual, we start by recapping NCIS Season 12 Episode 13 "We Build, We Fight". Then we jump into a true crime case that shares some similarities with the episode. While docked in Sasebo, Japan, Radioman Allen R. Schindler Jr. was just trying to enjoy one last night out before the U.S.S. Belleau Wood took off for the Philippines the next day. That was until he was brutally murdered on his way back to the ship. The reason? Depends on who you ask. Allen's friends and family say it was because he was gay and it was an act of homophobia. The Navy says it was just a drunken fight. Listen to see who is telling the truth.
