My first comment was to say it could not have happened since guns are illegal in DC.....smarminess out of the way, that's no bueno. I see a NJP (at best) on the way.....
When do you think most NDs happen? I'd wager during loading and unloading.it happened during a shift change when weapons are supposed to be unloaded before being passed to the next shift
NJP...had to google that one! (I google a LOT on this forum!) Lol.My first comment was to say it could not have happened since guns are illegal in DC.....smarminess out of the way, that's no bueno. I see a NJP (at best) on the way.....
Apparently, during "cleaning".When do you think most NDs happen? I'd wager during loading and unloading.
That's at 8th & I. I don't know how it is now but that's where they used to have the evening parades in the summer. When I was in it was a difficult post to get a transfer to. The few I knew that went there were pretty squared away. Things change. I think it's the oldest post in the Corps.

(Googling FAP....it just never ends, does it? Lol.)If he gets NJP, he better to buy a lottery ticket because he’s the luckiest SOB in the world. He’ll most certainly go to a general court martial and be looking at a few years in the brig.
Had a Marine at my last battalion that was FAPed out to guard force standing duty on the gates at Lejeune. He was dicking around with his rifle and needed up NDing at killing his friend. I believe he got something like 2-4yrs in the brig.
I made the comment once that perhaps this led to the perceived need for a manual safety. Of course I was roasted by most on here about ALL it took was proper training and safeties were unnecessary.I've never seen so much poor weapon handling and safety violations in the CIV world as I have seen in the MIL.

Was it the brig or Portsmouth? I know it has changed substantially but it was a hell of a threat when I was in. I remember a CID investigator got three yard-birds to confess by offering them six, six and a kick or 2-4i Portsmouth.If he gets NJP, he better to buy a lottery ticket because he’s the luckiest SOB in the world.

I'm surprised but I guess I shouldn't be. I'm going back over fifty years but then if the sentence was more than 364 days they shipped them out. Brig was much smaller then. It was next to building 37 where the provost marshal was. I was down there about ten years ago and the brig is much, much bigger than the old one.It was the brig at lejeune.
