Great story! I’ve had similar things happen in my career...
I Liked the story, but my experience was different.
I was in Key West on a sub and was mugged on my way back to the base in front of the marine guards. My watch was stolen and as I was pushed to the ground my uniform was messed. When I approached the gate I asked why you did not help me and the response was that I was not on military ground and my uniform was messed. I FU them and went to the barracks where I was subsequently arrested. Fortunately, I had a very good reputation on the sub as I was proficient at fixing both sonar and ET stuff.
At the Hearing on the sub, which the captain demanded be held on the sub, I was told to be good for two weeks and not swear at marines any more!
The marines wanted to inprison me. They were pissed.Thank god for the captain.
