So dh told me that 2 brand new privates in his unit got caught smuggling 2 lbs of mushrooms from Amsterdam on Sunday.

They got stopped at the border, when the officers found the drugs, they asked for their identification, instead of giving their passports- the guys gave their military id.

They screwed up royal. Now they are going to prison here in Germany, and will be kicked out of the army, and fined. All at the ripe age of 19.

Hmm silly boys. Apparently they had been here like 2 weeks. Straight outta basic training. :duh :screwy

:screwy that's just f-ed up

WOW those are some idiots!

:loser What makes them think you can get away with that kinda shit? I mean come on! Giving their military ID on top of that?! Let not act like :quote adults :quote like you have to out there. I guess it's just being young, and making stupid decisions.

how stupid. they really give the american presence in europe a bad name.

Maybe they thought there military ID's would give them special privelliage and get away with it lol.

Lol. Smart thing to do would have been giving the Passport and going to gaol for a night, and getting out on bail. But as soon as they whipped out the id cards, shit hit the fan.

Dh said this quote "the army has lowered their standards, they are stretched thin and they are now allowing anyone in, if they are on drugs- they will be given a waiver and allowed into basic training, also with the pay incentives- who wouldn't join? A junkie just has to sign a piece of paper and will be given an enlistment bonus of like 10 thousand dollars, which he can spend on drugs".

Dh is really pissed about it. His unit is even shorter on staff now.

some people will never learn. ugh

thats just dumb as hell...
