In 07' at Ft Benning I saw a private MOPING THE GRASS, water bucket and all !!!!
That was his "corrective training" for walking on the grass

No words.
Anyone who has not experienced basic would never undwrstand the brilliance of that one.

During a field problem at Ft. Polk, an E5 "lost" his weapon during the night while he was asleep. The chain of command was furious. ENDEX was called, the rest of the company was called to this site to search for the missing weapon. We were given machetes to hack through the dense forest, the engineers were called to bulldoze all trees that were under a certain size. E5 was getting grilled by CID (and got an Article 15), and we spent the next four weeks hacking away. BN CO would show up and chew-out our CO almost daily - he became a chain smoker (nice guy too). In the end, an 11B who was in our AO was arrested trying to pawn the weapon. The few acres we cleared... Kisatchie National Forest. Our BN training budget was used for the fines, and every field problem for the rest of the fiscal year we cruised to in our LPC (leather personnel carriers). Punishment all around! Good times... good times...

Love it, I found a rifle in truck this summer at AT, had fun with the owner. Don't think he liked the conversation I had with his 1SG.

We had operation Delta going on in Cubi Pt./Subic Bay back in 90.
3rd Recon was attached toour react team. A female AN was attached to ASF.
We were pulling watch as a few sacked out. AN Hines decided to ask Sgt. Vasquez why the Marines slept while holding their rifle.
He instructed that they would be killed by their own weapon if not. Airman Hines quietly walks over to a Recon Marine that was sleeping 15 ft from me ,and like the tooth fairy,lifted said weapon from the Cpl..
He spent the next 2 days doing sleep drills on command.
It was funny at first,but I got sick of watching an AN revel in his embarrassment.
The evening chow hall laughed at this Marine as the order "sleep" was called everytime he'd go to drink or eat.
This was a field Marine. I gave him credit for playing along with enthusiasm.
Go 3rd Recon!!

I had a young PVT that decided to drink and drive the night before a field excercise. He called me when it happened. A few Sgts and myself went up to where he had wrecked. I told him he had only 2 options: 1 I call the police and go through all that noise or 2 he belonged to me for 24 hrs. This kid low crawled until he wore a hole in his Kevlar cover. We were careful and made sure we took care of him physically but he went through 24 hours of the harshest "corrective training" I had ever see in my time in. He was barely able to stand at the end. But that soldier stood up and said thank you to each one of the NCOs that assisted me. That kid is now a SSG and well on his way to make E-7.

The good days when you could choose between Pain or Paperwork. Saved a lot of good military careers.

If they lose a canteen they carry a 5 gal water jug and if they leave their wall locker unsecure they pack everything in a duffle bag, secure it and carry it on their back. You should try and provide lessons which run parallel with the infraction. The big weapon is right in line with that thinking.

Or he gets it "dummy" corded to himself until someone else does the same thing or the NCO says that's enough.

At least he will have a constant reminder of what he did every time he looks at what he is carrying while he's running

Back in the Mid 90's the third shift or early morning (see 0 dark thirty) crew came upon a Security Cop sleeping on the flight line. We were able to disassemble his weapon remove the firing pin and return it to the car he as driving. We then located his supervisor and gave him the pin. Never did find out what happened.

I lost a canteen and had to carry a ammo can filled with sand everywhere. Runs, church, chow everywhere. Never lost anything again. Good lesson.
