freaky... on a lighter note...got a call from my SR today..37 days till PIR... HOOYAH
That would totally freak me out too.
I remember being on watch for the holding divisions barracks in April or May 1988. The third floor was completely empty, and obviously had been for a LONG time. It was about 0300, and incredibly creepy. I was roving watch, and was already on edge while walking though the dark third floor corridors. Then, from the darkness, a HUGE palmetto bug flew up and right into my face. I screamed and ran downstairs and essentially gundecked the rest of that watch - I checked everything on the first two floors, but there was no way I was going back up to the third floor.
I was there winter 79~80. We moved into a second floor compartment which had been closed a couple years for reasons not explained to us. I was on watch alone, checking the windows, when I saw white tennis shoes go down the middle of the compartment. I went between the racks to look, but no one was there. I sat in the office for the rest of my watch! Scared me to pieces. I never told the story until years later when another gal talked about our compartment as always having white shoes in the dryer no matter how many times they took them out. Remember, we wore white shoes our first few weeks?
There was a girl on the third floor above us who slit her wrists with a broken razor on Christmas Eve, our CC was the one who was on duty and held her wrists until the emergency team arrived. She didn't die, but our CC was very upset.
yea it was ..... or u'd just hear noises ... and ur mind runs away with it... hahahhahah
I just assumed it was stories to scare us. Walking the upstairs by yourself at 3 am is scary enough.
i went in from sept 88 to dec 88 and i remember that story... i do remember weird stuff happening on fire watch
Mar 25, 1981
@ sherri... when was that?? for some reason that just struck a memory..
I was at Orlando for boot camp and I just remember that some girl hung herself on the 3rd floor and it was empty when I was there and it was always a little freaky to go up there in the middle of the night during fire watch.
