How to Secure a Building:

U S Army
The Army would secure a building by locking all doors, put bars on the windows, and establish one entrance with a guard post and armed guards and carefully check the IDs of all personnel who try to enter.

U S Navy
The Navy would secure a building by swabbing all decks, turn off all coffee pots, turn off all lights, lock all office doors, and lock all entrances as they leave the building.

U S Marines
The Marines would secure a building by assaulting it with a combined arms team, breaking into all interior rooms, shooting all resistance, and planting demolition charges as they evacuate in an orderly manner. They would then level the building to prevent further enemy use.

U S Air Force
The Air Force would secure a building by having the Base Contracting Officer negotiate a three-year lease with a option to purchase.

Found that online. So true and so funny. Well, at least to those who've seen the inner workings of the service branches. 🤣

@sarabee1995 Yup! Even for the Chow Hall, Recreation, Maintenance, Etc., Buildings, those ubiquitous Coffee Pots MUST be Turned Off! (😝 Burnt Coffee Smell @ 🕕0600 is NOT a good way to start a U S Navy Day!)

The only exception was the Base Admin Building with the Quarterdeck, there's a 24/7 Watch and the Duty Officer or CPO is wearing a holstered M9 9mm and so are any roving Patrol Officers.

@Valerian That holstered weapon is a Sig these days. The Beretta M9 has been mostly retired. ;)

Some of that sounds familiar from my childhood on naval bases 🙂 My dad trained me and my sisters in his own 'leaving the house' routine. I still can't leave my own home without unplugging every electrical appliance in the kitchen 🤦‍♀️
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@SunshineGirl Lol, yup, must secure the place before leaving!! 🤣🤣🤣
Valerian · 100+, M
Yes! 🤣
During my time spent with the U S Navy for training,
The Naval Education and Training Command (NETC)
routine was exactly that for every one of the Classroom and Instruction Buildings.

@Valerian And it still is... For every building, every ship, every facility. 🙂

Why Navy turn off the coffee pots? Lol
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Viper Because we were ordered to secure the building! That means everything shut down and stowed safely.

Damn! They hit it spot-on!
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@Ontheroad I know, right!?!? 🙂
