I’m a former Marine, I’ve seen this happen before - they don’t want anyone involved with what’s happening in Charlotte, so they are ordering them to stay on base.

Thank you!

Finally, a voice of sanity. This makes perfect sense -- it avoids putting a target on a uniform back, and avoids negative press if someone out of uniform inadvertently finds themselves in the middle of rioting. It wouldn't end well for the rioters. :-)

I’d guess one of the Matines from that base got caught “protesting” in Charlotte. If so, it makes total sense to keep everyone under thumb. /s
As always, the powers that be are screwing the entire battalion because of one ( or more) Jarheads pulling a stupid act.
There’s always 5-10% of most units that are less than stellar. Everyone I’ve been in are the same.
