The United States Air Force penalised one of their airmen and knocked him down a rank after the incident, which was reported in a newsletter by the legal office of the Anchorage Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.

According to the document, which has since gone viral on Facebook, the unnamed male was punished ''for failure to refrain from urinating in the office coffee maker.''

The pee-gate was confirmed by a spokesperson for the airbase to military publication Task & Purpose.
