My dad was th XO of the base in Subic, so he dealt with EXACTLY this type of situation a lot. He told me about them to educate me. I am glad he did.

Fortunately for the idiotic sailors and Marines in Subic there was a military presence. Most of the time it could mitigate the civilian punishment. Similar to Okinawa, the brig is an attractive alternative to what you get in civilian Japan world.

Pity the fool who wasn't a kid in the midst of self-administered alcohol-abuse who screws up and ends up in the clutches of the civilian authority in the PI.
