A guy from another platoon in boot tried to run away. Too bad we were on an island.

Took all his shit off during a rest and just hit the road

Or the entire land nav team gets lost

We had a girl eat tide pods unironically

3 times

When did you go?

Last winter

That's like a zoomer thing

I was the old fuck at 24

When I got out the tide pod meme was a thing and I just thought it was a Basic Training meme

You were probably older than some of the DS's

I'm 35 and I just got a text from a recruiter 2 weeks ago

Same age as 2 of them

We had one escape P.I

Lmao

They had posters everywhere warning of the consequences of deserting

How did he escape? Run out the front gate in green on green?

One of my other friends went through basic in like 1994, said they had a guy break one of his safety razors and use it to slash his wrists and then draw a pentagram on the wall of the showers

Legend

We had a guy do that minus the pentagram

Oi since none of you tards but sadmin, fugu, and maybe the swede are going to understand I'm going to rant here

Basic is simple lmao

@Finn the magic dragon

We had some folks try to desert out the window

So it was late in March I believe.

None on my platoon

People need to name their fucking image files. Stop bitching to me your SEO is shit when you leave your shit as 23463.png or .jpg

Also one extension cord necktie

In 2014 we were still coming out of winter then, it was really rough.

It was a full moon event, and at extremely low tide

He snuck past firewatch, removed all his shit, pretended to be a fleet Marine off duty/in normal Marine uniform, even got stopped by BC for not wearing a P.T belt while on a bicycle he stole and got past. This was around 4-5 AM.

It was still dark, once he got to the main road outside of P.I but, before the gates he waded through the swamp. Got to a bus station in Beaufort around 8AM.

That's pretty clever.

A preacher at the bus station stopped him, asked if he was in trouble. He'd ditched his cammies in a dumpster and took clothes from outside a goodwill/charity shop that were outside.

He said yes, preacher bought him a bus ticket.

We know all this because I was in PEB and met this kid, he came back to P.I and got chaptered out after the military came calling his house over and over. Basically they called him and asked for the mother, his dumb ass answered - they asked if it was him and he turned himself in via the phone.

lol

Couldn't hide forever

He's a fucking legend

He got lucky with the preacher
