So, funny coincidential story. Marines picked up on our boat after a tour in the sandbox back in 09-10 time frame. Found a guy in the unit on the smoke deck on the way back who graduated my high school, who was in my NJROTC classes, a year behind me. Left a hell of an impression on me which is why I never got into the…

If you get NJP, you do not request court-martial unless you have a fully substantiated defense that will acquit you of all charges and your command unfairly railroaded you. Almost every command will not risk pushing someone for it, instead waiting for the perennial screwup that they can nail you unreservedly for and…

Oh yeah. ‘Conduct detrimental to the Good Order and Discipline’ of the Corp is a standard for punishment in NJP, taking it to the next level. They could push for a few articles, such as Article 81: Conspiracy, Article 104: Aiding the enemy (ISIS is a noted enemy of the United States and reasonable persons everywhere,…

Yeah I know that feeling. I had a few dumb pictures but nothing to implicate in doing stupidly illegal or questionable things.
Hate speech on the other hand would get people beat informally and no one knew how or who did it. The brig would be as much a safety measure for him as punishment.

Is that Hickory Smoked or Peat flavored asscrack?

There is always a possibility the person who got their photo taken was completely unaware of the asshole who posted this online. I’m not saying it’s plausible, but that sometimes you don’t know a guy until you see just how bad his fuck-ups are.

If they say a broad class is bringing the country down, yes it is (vile) free speech. Specifically saying that if you’re gay and should be shot is hate speech and violates the protections of the first amendment. There’s nothing saying you can’t speak your mind (so long as you don’t attempt to incite hate or violence),…

Don’t be surprised if he’s confined to the brig pre-Court Martial. Levinworth is not off the books either. When they’re done doing time, he’ll be lucky if he can find a burger flipping job as some chains will refuse to hire because some of them have on base presences globally.

Non Judicial Punishment. It’s basically bad conduct that wouldn’t be held on you similar to a traffic ticket instead of a misdemeanor/felony in civilian ter to ms.

The fact this has now garnered National Attention, the risk of only NJP is so vastly low it is nearly negligible. The only way that happens is if they have brass connections so high they got to live a life of privledge as enlisted men.

From a (former) squid- Thank you for your service and mind set.

No. For the most part the military doesn’t allow it’s weapons to be left uncontrolled for fear of idiots like this becoming Rambo over a non-issue. Obviously this doesn’t apply to every command (Special Forces for the most part as I think very few people genuinely are willing to share what they can and can’t do…

Look at it this way, they are now about to see what the term ‘Boots in your Ass’ means without the lube.

Actually, every year the DoD has commands address Social Media Presence and Operational Security in Regards to Online Presence. These guys either were not taught, did not listen, or did not care. These kinds of idiots could be any kind of person, such as coming from a Sheltered (Overprotective) upbringing to differed…

I guarantee this shit will go to a very highly publicized event. You can’t control the flow of information of every member in the unit, and someone will be so outrageously pissed about it that some form of media will be kept apprised on the down low. They have no choice but to nail em to the wall or risk losing face…

There was a joke about ‘It’s not gay underway’ when I was in the Navy, but we at least respected our shipmate’s decisions for their sexual preference. Hell in some cases the gay dude was a better liberty buddy for port call than some of the sober ones.

Made a few bucks betting my coworkers on both Super Bowls that the Giants would win. Imagine my satisfaction on that game winning field goal in the first one as a Dolphin’s fan. (Yes, I am that petty)

Floor 10- impossible to raid boss.

Had this happen in middle school. Lock broke on the two way lock on the way in. Took 3 hours before a teacher heard me. Thank god for my smuggled gameboy.

Next X-Games, i expect this guy to be a dark horse contender for street BMX.
