love pbs!

Yes, the UCMJ provides that particular punishment. But it's only for three days. It's most likely better than the food on the mess decks.

my dad was CPO, 20 years in the Navy, and i know a bunch of Marines that have got in trouble, and you kinda have to try to end up in the brig, its usually a pretty big violation you have done if you are in the brig

@VTwinty

You have to do a lot more than piss someone off to get into the brig. Normally it take a major violation of the UCMJ(Uniform Code of Military Justice) then it's up to the Commanding Officer to determine if the offense was bad enough to deserve to be locked up. Most of the time the punishment handed out is being restricted to the ship(or shore base) for 30-45 days and loss of half your pay for a couple of months.

In the NAVY, if you get in trouble for whatever you do to make them upset, Will they lock you up in the brig? and for how long? and do they only give you water and bread? That sucks!

I also heard rumors that if you are starting to fight they will beat the crap out of you, shit! Getting your ass kicked must be the worse thing ever on a ship.
