this doesn't bode well....

[Howlin]

As I said to you earlier in the week, all our state news is bad lately.

[Amelia]

This is not good.

[Madcelt]

Better Idea. Wall locker... Third story of barracks...Gravity. Repeat until desired effect is achieved! If You know what I mean.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Hmmm... Poly-kim... aft steering... three or four days... THEN we do your idea...

[Madcelt]

I'll compromise, 12 hours yours, then mine Deal?

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

I remember a story about a barracks thief in the French Foreign Legion (told over several beers one night by a Corsican who had been in the Legion)- apparently they caught this schmuck stealing, and nailed him to the floor with bayonets.

I would do no less to anyone who would deliberately tamper with packed parachutes. The trick is to make his death as prolonged and painful as humanly possible- without being caught.

[Texas_Jarhead]

or perhaps the perp should be made to have a little get together with the 3 Marines whose main chutes failed

[Chad Fairbanks]

Works for me... of course, having been taped to a bulkhead in aft-steering for several hours, I can attest to it's lack of comfort ;0)


btw, an intersting aside? When I was in boot camp in 1988, there were two Iraqi nationals in my company... not that it's relevent to the current discussion, of course...

[The FRugitive]

Would civilians have access? What could another Marine's motive be?

[Chad Fairbanks]

Sleeper?

Gentlemen we have a compromise

[mykdsmom]

I don't know if civilians would have access or not, seems unlikely.

I seem to remember a story out of Ft. Bragg about a Iraqi who became a US service member. I believe this guy was caught doing something illegal on the base but I don't remember what it was.

I'll see if I can find the story.

"string the culprit up by his web belt! "

punishment should "fit the crime"...
throw em out of a plane with a "bad chute"...
over some rough terrain, inhabited by "wild animals".

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

I am not joking- I have had the sad experience of watching another jumper fall to his death when his main parachute failed to open- he got that chute from the same pile I took mine from (although I hope I would have been quicker to recognize the problem and deploy my reserve...)

[mykdsmom]

I found the story, check this out.

If one can do it I suppose there could be more out there.
