We make a detailed analysis of the proton decay in a supersymmetric SO(10) model proposed by K. Babu, I. Gogoladze, P. Nath, and R. Syed. We introduce quark mixing, and find that this model can generate fermion mass without breaking the experimental bound on proton decay. We also predict large Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) unitarity violations. The CKM matrix V in this paper is defined as normal, i.e. d{sub i}{sup '}=V{sup ij}d{sub j}, where ij run from 1 to 3. The primed field is the weak eigenstate and the unprimed field is the mass eigenstate.
