"My cousin did his Marine basic training on Paris Island. When they went out on overnights where they used tents, they were told their rifles were to be stored inside their sleeping bags at night so they would not be stolen while they slept."*****
Drill Sergeants would try to grab your rifle as you slept and if they did you were in deep shit. You either kept the M16 inside your fart sack or wrapped the sling around your wrist.

Correct. I know a National Guard Company Commander who was relived because his full timer transferred some M16's to another Company and didn't do paperwork, arms room inventory reported them missing and he took the hit..This. It was more about trying to make an 18 year old boot feel personally accountable for something than any real concern of theft.
Back in the day, in the darkest woods of Alabama, we were warned watch your weapons the locals would steal them. Heads up grab what you can.
That private should have done grass drills till he f***ing puked.many years ago we were doing a night time Company movement in a State park. Pitch dark, could only see the cat eyes on the Joe in front of you. Many security halts, get off the trail, take a knee or after 30 seconds get in the prone facing out. we're in the prone and we hear two Soldiers come running down the trial past us heading back where we came from. In the halt for over 30 minutes and the Soldiers come running back the other way up to the front of the column. We get the signal and continue moving. When we finally reach our destination we find out some dip shit PVT. laid down at a security halt and then left his weapon against a tree as we moved on. How the *** do you forget you weapon? How they found it in the pitch dark is beyond me but thank God he wasn't one of mine?
I'm sure he did.That private should have done grass drills till he f***ing puked.
Why not Minot. Compared to losing 6 nukes this is nothing.
Oh yeah, and a Minuteman nuclear missile!

There were a whole lot of m16s that walked. In addition a lot of Iraq bring backs survived the ft riley rail head. Just saying.We had 3 M16's stolen when I went through Basic Training at Ft. Leonard Wood in MO.
... and not by a Drill Sgt. looking for a shitload of pushups...
I had no idea. The smilie was totally accidental.

When I was at the Precision Weapons Shop in Quantico, we had a Marine just get assigned to us from PI. Shortly after he was arrested. Turns out he was part of a major theft ring at the PI armory. This was around late 1999-2000.The concern was other marines stealing guns.
