The day I jumped the perimeter fence at Gold....

Sounds like a typical escape over the Berlin Wall or from
a WW2 concentration camp only without the electrified
fence or machine gun towers. I guess they would add them
if they thought they could get away with it.

Great story, very entertaining. I hate to be a wet blanket, but there are a lot of details that don't add up. I was at the Base, as many know, for 15 years.

The sensors on the fences are motion sensors, not audio sensors. Any shaking of the fence automatically turns on the lights. And the rover is there within about two minutes.

Secondly, the razor wire supports face inward. It's not easy to get over by any means. If someone thinks they can easily climb over a razor wire fence, with any speed and with no personal injury, then I for one would like to see a demo video.

But probably most interestingly, in the southwest corner of the property by the golf course, next to the wash, there is a way to get over the fence without scaling it. Two people I know of escaped that way, and more knew about it.

And good luck "hiding behind" the few scraggly little bushes in that area.

And the idea of being desperate enough to jump the fence and then just tamely walk back to Sea Org berthing is not credible to me.

Again, sorry to rain on any parades.

I kinda figured the same, but since I'd never been to Gold, what do I know? But from reading other Gold stories, I did remember some of those points mentioned. :confused2:
