Yep. They have brigs on ships, bases, pretty much every military base has a small prison facility. Also, fort levenworth is a prison for military dudes. I went to the brig, once. lol.
Might as well just tell the story. So, I had a bigass knife because my job required you to have a bigass knife. Literally, entire dept, hundreds of people, carrying bigass folding knifes, non-issue for years. I change dept, get different job, bring bigass cold steel folding tanto 5.5" blade. New job requires cutting of 2-3mm thick zip ties. Use bigass knife for months, finally once day an MP walks up to me as im doing my shit. He grabs my arm and is like "thats a weapon" and arrested me, like while im at work, doing some top secret shit. Yeah I had a 212 or whatever that card is, you had to have it for the spaces we operated in. The top secret one to handle sensitive documents, etc.
So yeah, its just a little fucking room with bars. I was kept there until this fucking idiot was slapped down by my dept head. Fucking idoits charged me! I went to see the capt, CMC, all that shit. They didnt punish me though because they knew it was a grey area. There is no rule that says "you can have a knife but not a bigass knife".
