Mix one U.S. Marine with alcohol and throw in the possibility of a huge foam party and you get an alcohol-related incident on Kadena Air Base.

That's according to Navy Times, which reported on Tuesday that Air Force officials were investigating how a drunk Marine entered an aircraft hangar on Kadena on May 23 and turned on the fire suppression system at around 1:45 a.m., releasing flame retardant foam close to at least one aircraft.

"The details of the incident are currently under investigation," 2nd Lt. Erik Anthony told Stars and Stripes in an email. "Kadena's capabilities and readiness have not suffered."

The unnamed Marine was arrested shortly after the incident, but details on the Marine's level of intoxication, his or her unit, or who made the arrest, were not released.
