Private at basic left his weapon unattended. This is what he got in return.

Oh, damn. I did this once in Iraq in 2004. I was fighting Saddam's Revenge during a working party, and had to run to the outhouses we built to squirt out the rear everything in my stomach, sweats and all. When I got back, my battle buddy, who I'd passed my weapon off to, was being confronted by my Staff Sergeant and my Platoon Sergeant. So, needless to say, I got a reaming, pushed until they got tired, stirred burning shit (liquid, I wasn't the only Sick Marine) for the next week, and was asked where my rifle was (never out of arm's reach).

Our DI. In Benning gave each part to the other DI's and the main piece to the first sgt. And it was pushup time.

A buddy of mine got in a scuffle outside the chow hall in iraq so our platoon Sargent puts a zip cuff on us, we were stuck together for our entire down time which was at that point was 4 days. Lmfao! Good times great oldies!

two guys got in a fight ,basic at ft.benning, 1988, had to use mess spoons and canteen to empty mudpuddle in a rain storm.

In AIT, we had the autobahn. 12x12 tiles down a hallway and whatever speed the DI said, was how many pushups you did per square. I had to do 10mph.

A young private in my BCT left his weapon lying around. DS had him dig a shallow grave in Jackson sand and bury it with "full" honors. Then the DS reached into the sand and charged it a few times. Had to be clean at the end of the day.

Left my weapon out of arms length in basic. They tied a piece of 550 cord through my eyelet in my BDU top and then to the front sight post. Long enough to bring the weapon up and fire it. Worn that the who 4 day FTX. wasn't even my fault. Battle buddy was supposed to be watching while I was in porta jon. he left it. He actually got a really really bad smoking!

When I was in Iraq 2006 my 1SG have this 6' foot wooden Gillette Shaver, every time he caught someone not shaving you will carry that thing for a week slung across your shoulder like a freaking M16.
Different scenario same location after guard duty I left my NODs in the tower guard and my replacement snitched on me and told my squad leader he smoked me for an hour, and I have to wear my full battle rattle for a week, and I have to carry a huge rock at the same time.

They made the whole platoon get cram into the showers, completely naked, nuts to butt..Boot camp, Parris Island, circa 1999.
