some 911 audio is on jsonline.com
They put Dad in charge of that.
A couple months later the base commander called my dad and asked “What happened to the discipline problem?” Dad said “What problem?” The commander said, “That’s what I wanted to hear.” and rung off.
It seems the Marines much preferred to be sent to fill sandbags. They viewed it as an honorable and appropriate punishment that allowed them to work off their aggression and energy, provided something that the base always needed, and more importantly didn’t end up in their personnel jacket to mess up their future careers and promotions.
My Dad’s a wiseguy in more ways than one...
