Felon arrested for gun violations while illegally living at Camp Pendleton
A felon with four prior convictions in Virginia has been charged with possession of firearms and trespassing onto Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, where he lived for a year in base housing without authorization, according to federal court records. James Andrew White was arrested Jan. 16 at the base for being a felon in possession of firearms, a felony, and trespassing upon a military installation, a misdemeanor. He is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 12.
James Andrew White was arrested Jan. 16 at the base for being a felon in possession of firearms, a felony, and trespassing upon a military installation, a misdemeanor. He is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 12.
According to an affidavit from the Criminal Investigative Division at Camp Pendleton, White was apprehended at the on-base home leased by Cpl. Nicholas Rosa and his wife, Heaven Rosa.
Under a search warrant, officers found two .22 caliber rifles as well as .22 and .45 ammunition in a room that Cpl. Rosa said had been used for the past year by White.
Rosa told investigators he was aware that White was staying on base without authorization. He said he was not aware of White’s criminal record or that firearms were being kept in the home he leased. He said White used a Veterans Administration identification card at times to access the base.

...I believe the technical term for CPL Rosa's current situation is, "deep shit".

Actually, I think it's closer to, "Buried so far under deep shit that in five or ten years, if lucky, he may be able to see deep shit with a submarine periscope."

The deep shit in this case is just above the Earth's mantle.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall for soon-to-be-boot-private's chat with his CO. And his CO's CO, etc.
I've always been impressed by some of the more interesting situations some sailors and Marines will put themselves into. This one is pretty impressive.
What was he thinking?

I thought it was the orange ones, because they look like carrots.
