CHEYENNE – Two Air Force airmen from F.E. Warren Air Force Base consumed alcohol while off duty at a missile alert facility May 14, according to a base spokesman.

Air Force security forces found alcoholic beverages belonging to a staff sergeant and senior airman maintainer from the 90th Missile Maintenance Squadron at an F.E. Warren missile alert facility, Joseph Coslett from the 90th Missile Wing said via email.

An investigation, which included admission by the airmen, revealed they consumed the alcohol while in an off-duty status and were not in contact with, nor had any access to, weapons or classified material.
