STUCKY, Judge
(concurring in the result):
Appellant’s statements to an AAFES civilian cashier cashing his check were false official statements within Article 107, UCMJ, 10 U.S.C. § 907 (2012), under either the majority opinion or my dissent in United States v. Spicer, 71 M.J. 470, 475-76 (C.A.A.F.2013) (Stucky, J., dissenting). In this case, the AAFES cashier was performing an official function under government authority and pursuant to government regulations when she cashed Appellant’s check. That is all that is required. I concur in affirming the judgment of the United States Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals.
