Very possible. Though I thought the kid had some kind of sleep disorder. I know two people who have narcolepsy and would just fall asleep anytime, anywhere. A friend was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea, which explains why she kept falling asleep in all kinds of situations where you would think anybody would stay awake.

Sleep apnea will certainly make it tougher to stay awake, but from experience these guys are often exhausted and it’s tough to keep alert in these circumstances, hence the widespread use of chew, cigs, coffee, etc. Black coffee always worked for me.

Yep. To me the falling asleep calls for medical eval and, possibly, medical discharge. REALLY SERIOUSLY lousy judgment on the sergeant’s part.
