I had done something to get myself in "ethics trouble" (not hard to do at all) while I was at Gold. My senior told me I wasn't allowed to sleep in my room and that I was confined to the base. Which really pissed me off of course.
Being that there was no policy saying I had to be confined to base I decided to grow some balls and jump the fence. I knew if I had questioned it I would have been asigned a "buddy" to make sure I was on base at all times. I knew how the security worked at Gold and what security did when the audio sensors worked outside the fences at the time. I'd seen it when security showed up to look for foot traffic or what might have set the alarm off.
After one of the alarms went off the lights in that area around the fence would click on (if it were night time). Eagle would scan the area around the fence with binoculars. If Eagle couldn't see what was setting the alarm off, the "rover" would go out and look himself.
I decided that the best area to jump the fence was on the golf course side of the propery right up in the corner next to the river bed. There were large sage bushes there that I could get cover from once over the fence.
After work was over (11pm everyday) I walked my ass all the way out to the fence. Took a good 15-20 minutes just to get out to the area I was planning to jump.
The fence was approximately 7-8 feet high with barb wire wrapped in circles across the top.
My heart was racing like crazy. What would happen if I got caught out here trying to scale the fence? I was getting really scared but I had an unexplainable urge to get off the property even if it was just several hours. After considering all my options and psyching myself out I reminded myself of something. I had an ace in the whole.
The perimeter fence had about a 7 second delay. I'd seen this when out next to the fence and the lights wouldn't shine for several seconds after we had walked up to the fence. Thanks to Renos day!
That's it, I'm going!
I very slowly crept up to the fence. I jumped as high as I could and climbed like a mad man. Thanks to my age and fitness I was able to jump the fence in no time. Barb wire is a joke when you know how to get over it.
I landed on my feet in the dusty dirt and bolted for a large bush. I tucked down as much as possible and tried to make myself look like part of the bush. And hoped the shadow would look like a bush as well.
The lights shined bright all around me. My heart was beating out of my chest at the point. I almost couldn't hold still. I waited and waited. It felt like minutes had gone by when the lights finally went off.
I slowly crepted away from the fence. When I felt I was away from the sensors I ran over the levy. I jogged all the way to the small bridge that went over the levy and caught a ride to the apartments.
When I came in the next morning I made sure to take the bus. If I had taken a car, security would have seen me. Security was told about who was in lower conditions and who was confined to base.
No one ever knew I jumped the fence at Gold.
Even to this day I think I may have only told one person.
Now that was a rush.
More "mutany" from me.
This is true!
