(When I was in boot camp in Texas, a trainee named John Somethingorother (not his real surname ;) ) snuck down to the BX, bought some civilian clothes as a disguise, slipped into them in some hiding-hole somewhere on the base, and walked right out the gate that way. He caught a cab to the airport and flew home (San Diego). Someone dropped dime on him and the military ordered him to show up at MEPS and be flown back to training, which he did. Quite a story in our little world.)
