Good Day...its almost 1:00 in the morning in California on Saturday, July 25, 2009....
I want everyone to know that if your child is going to Camp Pendleton to do FMTB training..please tell them to not have alot of expensive stuff....in the last 2 weeks, while my son's division has been out on training he has had his truck broke into..they stole his Ipod, Iphone, Gps and his credit card. He locked his stuff in his truck because people have been stealing inside the barricks..laptops, etc. We are about 2 hours away from Camp Pendleton...so, he gets a new phone and nothing else...and on July 24, 2009 they just got back from the field about 5:00 p.m. after being gone all week..and someone broke into his locker stole his laptop, our gps system and his truck keys...took his truck for a joy ride and wrecked the passenger side of it....they also stole from most of everyone else there. So, these guys, hot, tired, hungry, dirty...the commander makes them sit outside of the barricks from 6:00 p.m. until well, they are still there...because the NCIS is doing an investigation...it was one of my son's buddies that asked him what happened to his truck...so, he calls home...we told him to go tell NCIS while they are there...and they told him..how do we know you didn't wreck your truck? understandable...but again...he was gone! and he didn't leave home this last weekend with a wrecked truck..and he has 4 other witnesses that were with him...so, please help me to understand how can this happen on a Marine Base? and especially if the barricks have 24 hour watch how can someone just walk out of the barricks with this much merchandise?
So, parents, please be warned and make sure your son or daughter keeps their stuff tightly locked away some where...it has been a hassle trying to get anything solved with the base police!
