What do you do to your hobby tools?

[dole61]

This is very comical to me because I'm sure this would anger some US citizens if they read your post. But wouldn't say anything because they wouldn't dare say they read it on mpnet. I say if those guys want to use military technology to have fun in TJ go ahead and do it.

Must not be much of an issue for these guys to visit, as I have a lot of them visiting our chicas. Often the Navy guys will e-mail from their ships using their e-mail from the military.

TJ Is off limits for the Squids as well. However lot of them come to SD to pick up a ship and while on liberty some tend to venture to TJ come what may.
When little head takes over, rationale goes out of the window.




Remember to keep it covered,

As for the Marines, they are forbidden to go to Tijuana (Or probably across the border) because of the drug cartel violence/kidnappings. The Marine Corps does not want any international incidents at the border. (And since you have to show ID at border, it would be easy for the border partrol to pick them out and narc them out to their command.)

As for the squids, I don't know but I have seen Navy people during my mongering.

As an aside, the way it works in the Marine Corps, if you get any non-judicial punishment (Article 15), you will never rise above the rank of E-5 (if you even get there). I was the regimental legal clerk at MCRD (Marine Corps Recruit Depot) and saw good Marines' careers fucked up over silly little things like drunk in public and the like. There is no "justice" in the Marines. If you get brought up on charges, you are automatically guilty in an Article 15 proceeding (your commanding officer is the judge and jury, as legal clerk I was the prosecutor but the Sargeant Major is the hammer who decides who gets prosecuted.) Any fuck-up and you're done. They don't like you, you're done. This has worked for the Marine Corps for over 200 years.

Monger2011 or anyone else that knows...

When I first started visiting TJ, I would see military individuals at TJ having a great time. I assume they are military based on their shaved heads and general military conversation.

However, later on, I have noticed a decrease in american armed forces.

Are they forbidden to leave Camp Pendleton or San Diego now?

What happened to vacation or shore leave times?

Or does the military now allow longer hair styles.

In my previous post, I was talking about being harrassed for my passport right at the revolving gate at the walkthrough part of the border going to the US. This is before you enter the building with the metal detector.

What really pisses me off is that it's not like I am like the only 6'3" white guy there, but on each occasion, they pick me to ask if I have a passport, etc. This really pisses me off, being an ex-Marine, with semi-professional haircut and no tattoos (and being pretty old).

Yeah - I had a couple of drinks and sweated my ass off banging the chicas but I don't get why they always pick me to ask the question "Do you have a passport."

If the border patrol is so inept, why have a border at all?

I have sort of a funny story though - early 80's I'm in the Marines and we of course go down to Mexico to drink and monger.

Two of us take someone's van down there that has a whole bunch of construction shit in the back. We also take a bong and a piece of hash the size of a golfball. Being underage we drive down to Ensenada, bang some chicas, buy some liquor for the room (on base) and drive back.

Of course we get to the border and sent to secondary inspection. I'm sitting there with this big piece of hash in my hand (no longer golf ball size but about half as big). Here comes the dog - I make a command decision and swallow the hash.

Of course the agent finds everything, 10 bottles of Tequila and the bong. Takes us into the bathroom (I'm sweating bricks, any drugs at all in Marines and you are fucked - but this was before the piss test for Marijuana), says since we are underage, we have to pour the liquor out. We do so into the sink and this guy gives us the biggest break ever, he breaks the bong in the sink and lets us go. What a night that was.

Of course I'm a Laker fan. If I wasn't there would be something wrong with me.

 

[Pompal 09.]

They knew what you were doing then an attempted to shame you. Aren't you a Laker fan?

 

[Nesha]

I've never shaved my head. I have all my hair intact. I'm more of a Dodgers than a Laker by a tad(I don't have a Laker jersey). I never wear baggy pants. I don't like wearing shorts only when going to the gym. I have no tattoes. I don't do drugs. I only smoke and drink but even those I don't like doing. Is almost a necessity in La Coahuila though. Just to fit in. My only drug is women. That's what I like.

 

[A D]

Do you have a shaved head, wear a 24 Laker jersey, shorts down below your knees, and socks almost up to your shorts? And A tatooed tear on your cheek?

 

[leelou]

I say fuck the Border Patrol and LE. I won't shed a tear if any of them get shot at and whatever happens to them afterward. They've given me a hard time for no reason at all. I'm no thug and I have no record at all. Explain that stupid Border Patrol and LE!!!.

 

[Pompal 09.]

I tell them everytime I come back from Adelitas that I just got some pussy - what are they going to do about it? I smell like pussy/alcohol too...

 

[kimpossible]

No I'm not worried about anything. I'm not sure if I'm being clear but I'm talking about if I was stopped by a Customs Border Patrol agent heading into TJ like that dude who was just ahead of me. With that out of the way I'm laughing at myself because I'm more worried about telling them what I would be doing with all the hobby tools in TJ which is somewhat understandable.(I'm in no way shaking BTW)

Then about what I would be telling them when coming back to the states which is funny to me since they have given me a hard time. And I find it a little ironic that I've never been questioned by Customs Border Patrol agent when I'm heading into TJ which is cool. At least I get a break for the moment and they don't have to put me on the spot over my hobby tools.

 

[Slippery]

I thought that maybe you had a job that had different laws that you must abide by. If you are just a normal joe like most of us, there is nothing to worry about. Besides if you just tell the agent you were visiting the chicas, that does not mean you solicited one.

I think you are inventing things to worry about.

 

[Pompal 09.]

The Protect Act of 2003 applies to underage solicitation. I could not find anything on our kind of activities abroad but I did find out that some US laws can be enforced if you break them outside the states. I'm not sure if mongering outside the states falls under this but I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig. I mixed up the 2003 Act, my mistake.

On a side note I'm sure I've read stories where they'd broken parts of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. I wouldn't say I been one of them.

 

[USMCwife]

Are you certain about this prohibition? It is my understanding that this has been proposed but has never been introduced let alone enacted. Are you sure you are not referring to underage solicitation?

 

[kind]

Well I have nothing else to hide other than mongering. But under US law/policy I'm forbided to solicit when visiting another country. And then if I was to admit to Customs Border Patrol I have these hobby tools to monger in La Coahuila it would probably carry extra penalties since I would still be in US territory. Instead of allowing me to be on my way to La Coahuila I'll probably be taken to some interrogation room.

The best thing to do is carry a little bit of hobby tools which is normal. Just in case Customs Border Patrol decides to stop me on my way to fun time.

 

[Sal (yeah)]

You don't need to sound clever....suspicious for what? Mongering? Man you are making something simple into something difficult.

 

[Neil A]

Ever since my first year of mongering, when asked 'What was the purpose of your visit?' I've always given the same answer:

"Spending time with the chicas"

Most male border patrol agents are neutral to this answer
a few of them will joke with me.

The female border patrol agents NEVER want to ask any follow-up questions.
And they NEVER want to search through my things.

 

[jazzmaster]

I don't know what telling the truth would do for me. The bad part is that I still haven't come up with something clever. I for some reason made eye contact with the Customs Border Patrols as to not appear suspicious.

BTW let me just add that the evening shift Customs Border Patrol guys are not doing their job. Every time I pass from San Ysidro into TJ during the evening there's always three guys(and I could swear is the same three guys) chatting in the same place and not tracking who's going to TJ. At first it was funny now is just irritating. It seems to me that the money that funds the cartels go through there quite easily. They should learn something from the day shift guys. As someone who wants to continue mongering in Mexico I had to get this off my chest.
