A former boot-camp instructor pleaded guilty Thursday to having illicit relationships with two women in technical training and received a 100-day jail sentence, but he'll stay in the Air Force.

A military judge, Lt. Col. Matthew Van Dalen, found Staff Sgt. Christopher Jackson guilty of having sex with two women trainees and telling one to lie if investigators asked about them.

In addition to spending a little more than three months in jail, Jackson, 29, will do 30 days' hard labor at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, be reduced in rank to airman first class and forfeit $1,500 in pay.“These are poor decisions that I made, and I'm ready to accept the consequences of my actions,” Jackson, a 10-year veteran, said through tears during a lengthy statement.
