...punishment: I have never, ever implied to anyone that I should get off scot-free. I even admitted in my letter to [Air Force] Secretary [Sheila] Widnall that I made mistakes and that a form of punishment should be rendered because of this. It should have been handled much differently, in the nonjudicial system...
...turning point came in a meeting last Wednesday night. Flinn's lawyer, Frank Spinner, was in his room at the Best Western Safari Inn in Minot, N.D., when the call came from Washington: no way was Air Force Secretary Sheila Widnall about to let Flinn resign with an honorable discharge.

Air Force Secretary Sheila Widnall told reoporters the pilot's "lack of integrity" and her "disobediance to orders" were more important issues than the adultery charges. In granting a general discharge, the secretary said she acted to "protect the Air Force core values," adding that Flinn will be required to pay back the cost of her Air Force Academy education.
