Marine Corp question?

Question

I'm married, I been married for 2 years and 6 months, my husband is in the Marine Corps and tells me he and a sargeant got in BIG trouble, he's in the dessert kinda near from base and tells me he'll be sleeping in a truck until tomorrow, doesn't know what time he'll be home. He was suppose to be home tomorrow in the morning, like at 7 or 8 is the time he gets home every day off, cause it's suppose to be his day off. Is the Marine Corp really like this......? I didn't know they can punish them like this and make them sleep away from base and in a truck. It was just weird wen my husband was explaining to me what happened over the phone, I was able to hear the other guy telling him what he was telling me, like if he was telling my husband what to tell me. I'm very angry and upset about this, I get so confused and frustrated, I feel so insecured about him, many times I think he's lying to me. Can you guys please help me, give me some advice, Military (Marine Corp) guys, wives, etc...

Will appreciate all the helping answers. :)

Thanks...

Answer 1

Maybe he was on a black op and he wasnt allowed to tell you the details of his mission.

There are a number of possibilities here: Maybe this wasn't a punitive consideration but an operational one. That is, maybe your husband wasn't necessarily being punished by having to sleep in the vehicle, but he did so because it was operationally necessary to have someone "at the ready", (and since he'd committed an infraction of some sort, he was a likely candidate). Or maybe he was tasked with scheduled maintenance of that vehicle and wound up sleeping in it as a result. Whatever the situation, Marine Corps methodology can seem harsh at times, but we really do take care of our own. Consider this: (Without knowing the specifics of his "infraction") in many cases, in other branches of the service the first option for disciplining service members is proceeding straight to NJP (Non-judicial Punishment) which will result in a fine, an unfavorable page 11 entry in the SRB (Service Record Book), and in cases warranting such action, brig time. The Corps typically uses these methods as a last resort, preferring instead to correct the behavior on the spot, but leaving no administrative record of it. While it can seem harsh on the surface, it actually does a Marine an enormous favor. Fines hurt not only the Marine but his family as well, particularly during deployments when funds are already stretched thinly. Page 11 entries hurt the Marine too by making him less competitive for promotions, so the fewer there are in his SRB the better off he is professionally. And face it, no one likes being in the brig for any length of time, so if it can be avoided so much the better. The funny thing is, after his initial anger with what's happened to him has subsided, he'll likely have fond memories of the instructive value of the "field discipline" exacted upon him, and he will more than likely use a similar method with some other Marine in the future...in a sincere attempt to straighten and help him out. Try not to worry; we're a bit strange, but there is method to our madness. Semper Fidelis.
