3 days bread and water beats 45&45 in my book.

They’re crying about bread and water? No wonder Iran was able to capture US sailors.
I thought the worst thing was the man on guard making sure no one in the brig got any sleep.

They could always bring back flogging...give people something real to cry about.

Yep! When I served back in the late 80’s/early 90’s, anyone that got busted for drugs on the first offense got 3 days in the brig bread and water AND 45/45 after they got out. This happened just about every time we had a random urinalysis. The second offense got you an OTH discharge.

The Quantico Marine Detention Barracks will put people on B&W for two weeks at a time, usually for fighting amongst themselves.

I wonder if the rules change was by the MD idiot the wanted to abolish the death penalty for treason (while BHO was CIC, for some strange reason...)

Yep my first co’s go to was 45 day restriction, 45 days of reduced pay, and a reduction in rank. Had a CPO reduced to first class shortly after I left. That was unheard of for a Captain’s Mast....never heard of another khaki losing rank outside of a court-martial.
