13 Fort Hood soldiers arrested in prostitution sting

| September 7, 2017

KWTX reports that 13 Fort Hood soldiers were swept up by Bell County, Texas sheriff’s department in what they called part of the National Johns Suppression Initiative, an attempt to stop prostitution by targeting the clientele (johns) of prostitutes. Apparently, the police placed ads on the internet to attract criminals. The Fort Hood PAO responded;

“Allegations such as these are taken seriously as they run counter to Army values,” said Tom Rheinlander, director of Fort Hood Public Affairs.

“As always, we are supportive of local authorities and will cooperate fully. Fort Hood will refrain from commenting further given that this is an ongoing investigation,” he said.

Two of the accused were under the age of 18, the ranks spanned from Privates to a Major.

10 careers that just got flushed….some before they even really started. Stupid.

Doc Savage

check that…not 10, 13.

Dapandico

Nabbed 2 MP’s by the short hairs

SGT Ted

No, nabbed 2 non-MP’s assigned to MP units. 91B is a medic and 42H is an admin weenie.

Doc Savage

Not anymore…..medics are now 68W’s.
91B’s are now light wheeled vehicle mechanics I believe..

MSG Eric

91B is just “wheeled vehicle mechanic” they stopped using light and heavy and just went with mechanic.

68W for medics for a few years now, yes.

MPs are now 31Bs.

Really? if you couldn’t score at Hood in the mid 80’s, you never tried. That was my favorite duty station in regards to social activities. Belton Lake, and the Kileen club scene and close to Austin and Waco were enough to make your head spin. Apparently the Modern Troops want to be “discrete” LOL Different world then, today it ain’t PC to be a “Player” lol

SGT Ted

Soldiers with hookers? No way! I’m shocked, shocked!

They should have just gone to Nevada.

just some feller

I’m Shocked!

The Other Whitey

I remember reading somewhere about Patton saying that “an army that can’t fuck can’t fight.”

Maybe the caveat is that it’s only okay if they’re foreign hookers.

sj

Guessing that UCMJ will be the least of the problem for some of the older ones that have a dependa.

thebesig

Then they’ll be paying for arse that they won’t be having, ala divorce. :mrgreen:

Hondo

Alimony: the screwing you get for the “strange” you got.

The Other Whitey

The gift that keeps on taking?

Letting your pecker think for you has consequences! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Ex-PH2

‘…too good-looking to pay for strange’.

Yes, I’d have to agree with that. But that includes considerably smarter, too, right?

Why pay for it if you can get it for free? I will never understand the idea of paying for something if you can get it for free.

11b-mailclerk

One doesnt pay the girl for attention. One pays so she -leaves- afterwards.

(Oops….)

Thunderstixx

Sorry Honey…
There ain’t no such thing as free pussy….
The better it looks the more it costs…
(Runs and hides under the bed)…

Ex-PH2

That’s not completely correct, Thundestixx. Miss Punkin Squawkypants cost me nothing until I started feeding her…. oh, well, you’re right. You win.

The Other Whitey

Prostitution just like dating, only in a more condensed timeframe, with less uncertainty as to the outcome, and with all payment made up-front. One way or another, female company costs money at some point…

[ducks and covers]

A Proud Infidel®™

The difference between love and lust? Lust rarely costs a man more than $200 a pop, but it can easily cost an entire Military Career!

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Support of Prostitution = Support of Human Trafficking … PERIOD.

This is a NO GO!

RCAF_CHAIRBORNE

Im pretty sure these were down home, corn fed American lassies just looking to make some cash by gash.

This IS the worlds oldest profession after all, and not EVER going away.
So, why not follow the Aussie NSW model?? They pay taxes, get full benefits inc. pension, mandatory health certificates and bonded security instead of a pimp.
Of course, there is still the pathetic ‘illegal’ street meat suffering from mental health issues and addiction. The typical ‘Crack Whore’, albeit WAY fewer than US cities.

The Other Whitey

Good points both ways, all kidding aside. There are some “self-employed” hookers beholden to nobody, and there’s some who’ve been abducted, addicted, or otherwise enslaved. This obviously doesn’t include the Nevada-licensed variety.

In all seriousness, I don’t know if there’s a “right” answer to the question of prostitution. Banning it doesn’t make it go away, and legalizing it doesn’t necessarily clean it all up, either.

RCAF_CHAIRBORNE

You are very right OW. There is no magical solution to any well ingrained social issue.
However, any human should have the right to use their body as they please. Most of the prozzies I have met, like their work and how it pays the bills quite well.
If I could make $$ with my cock, I prolly would.(not to guys!!!)

OldManchu

Well finally it was some folks below the rank of O-8 that got busted.

I recently decided to call my wife the Prior…she seems to want to keep me subject to vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience.

A man has a brain and a penis, but only enough blood to run one at a time.

This is what happens when they shut down the on base prostitution ring, eh?

Speaking of which, what happened to the players in that little shit show?

Green Thumb

My best guess is that CW2 is about to lose the “P”.

Seems the local PD has nothing better to do.

I hate to say it, but this is par for the course around any large Infantry post.

Yef

Yet only one of the 13 was infantry.

Roh-Dog

This! One of the oft bragging points of the Infantry is that it takes 8 Soldiers to support one Infantryman.
Well…
It finally looks like we ain’t the problem! Generally, Infantrymen don’t need to pay for it, they’ll go with anything that’ll let ’em.
Or, alternately: cops favored grunts and punted them, Infantrymen are too slimy to get caught, or they were out in the field.
Or the Barracks have gotten a WHOLE lot weirder…(tha hor-ror)

E-6 type, 1 ea

And not one scout or tanker on the list. Must have been a big FTX.

Dinotanker

NO Kidding E-6,

Back in my brief 2/1 Cav time Id have been afraid the list would have included my whole platoon… With the PSG running the show… Ahhh the good old days!

MSG Eric

Good thing we were kicking out so many “scumbags” during the last administration’s reduction of force via any excuse possible so this kind of thing doesn’t happen…..

C2Show

still plenty of idiots getting chaptered out. I just saw at my installation at least 17 got booted lut in last month.

Ex-PH2

13 idiots in go. They should have fun discussing their failings with each other, e.g., ‘how the hell did we get caught?’

Andy11M

Come on guys, there’s plenty of Killeen hoes looking for dependant status.

Doug

Why the hell are they nailing anything in Killeen?

Austin is 45 minutes south with all those wild UT gals on 6th street. Waco & Temple are just a less than an hour away going east, about 50 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. Dallas is just up 35 and San Antonio just down the street from Austin. Go out main gate and just keep going south and you hit Austin then S.A.

People are so stupid.

When I was at Ft. Hood we would sometimes go on weekends to a topless bar in San Antonio called the Crystal Pistol. The exotic dancers were true artists. Although they had to wear pasties, the pasties had tassels which could be made to twirl in tandem with the right moves. Those ladies with a real gift, true masters of the craft, could make them counter-rotate.

It always made me feel sort of humble to be in the presence of such talent…

Poetrooper

Not to mention the tits…

Claymore

When I worked at a certain Dept. of Energy weapons plant in the 90’s, a prostitution ring got busted…some of the construction craft had a payday “lottery” where the shop steward and his intern would sell off a deck of cards for $100 a pop…little intern blondie would then take a second deck and drop it into a hardhat and pull a card… whoever was the lucky guy would then get to spend an extended lunch break in the supervisor’s office with miss cutiepie and she would split the take with the shop steward. This went on for quite a while until one dude dropped about $500 in cards and his didn’t get pulled, so he reported the whole gang. Authorities got involved and before it was over, several people were locked up and those they could catch for participating were fired…including Mr. Snitch. Karma’s a bitch.

Doug

While I was at Hood, there was a site called ‘Double-D Twins’. They were HOT & natural! It turns out that they were Specialists in the Chem Battalion and it was their company commander who found them while ‘recreationally browsing the internet’ one evening.

It is good to know Mr Snitch got busted too.

Americans are too up tight about sex. ‘Sex is legal. Selling stuff is legal. But selling sex is illegal’… The pimps and drugs need to go away, but the trading stuff for sex is as old as male and female.

Fyrfighter

Anyone who says they’ve never traded cash or gifts for sex has never been married… Just saying… But these guys are idiots!

Claymore

During the teardown of the construction craft building, after the reactor rehab was done, they discovered all of these hidey-holes built behind false walls and inside of the construction supervisors offices. There were bunks and galley kitchens in there with running water and full electrical. They found stacks of porn and other questionable material. The ex-Navy nukes I was working with at the time just shrugged and said they’d seen worse. 🙂

Silentium Est Aureum

I plead the 5th.

Dinotanker

Claymore, I have heard of similar things happening over at the November Reactor back in those days. Also rumors of “sleeping racks” in wiring trays of other facilities.

Im sure its ALL rumor (LOL) since DOE wouldn’t ever think something like this would happen onsite.

The Other Whitey

“Anyone who says they’ve never traded cash or gifts for sex has never been married…”

Anyone who says that is a virgin.

The Other Whitey

Nobody likes a sore loser…

RCAF_CHAIRBORNE

Soldiers and Sailors hire whooores?????……well I never!!! 😉

Let’s face it, where there is a Base there always be plenty of Bars/Liq stores and Rub n Tugs/Backpage ads.
ANY place with many horny young single men is a goldmine for prozzies. This is Capitalism at work, supply and demand.

The warrant officer I can understand but the rest of them……

Now we know why they never show for PT.

E-5 and up…a chief…and a major

I’m not excusing the E-4 and below, but I do expect a lot more out of the leadership team.

Carlton G. Long

correction…2 chiefs

Carlton G. Long

Correction to the info posted…actual text is:

Two may also face felony charges in cases involving ads for prostitutes who were portrayed as being younger than 18.

That changes everything….

It is no longer a transaction by consenting adults.

The Other Whitey

If they were deliberately going after underage girls, then all bets are off, do not pass “go,” just shoot the sonsabitches.

Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

San Juan P.R. hooker prices were five & two. Five bucks for the you know what & two bucks for the room. Anyone out there know if there was a price increase from my time until the present. I forgot what the kids on the pier wanted for a shoe shine back then.

rgr769

Back in my day, German “pros” were 40 Marks (about $11) and in Hong Kong and Taipei “tour guides” were about $15 per day. I am guessing American girls are quite a bit more pricey and time constrained.

A Proud Infidel®™

Further proof that a hardon has neither a conscience or any thoughts of consequence.

Remember those steam and creams on the ROK bases (at least in the late 80s)….perfect cure for a married man on an unaccompanied tour…I recall the one in Osan (AF has the BEST MWR!) shut down because the senior AF chaplain got the “you want special massagee?” offer and it seems he didn’t…maybe a true man of the cloth but I’m thinking he had an alternate lifestyle orientation

rgr769

Only one 11B infantryman in the bunch. What has happened to the practitioners of my first chosen profession? And, yes I’m talking about the queen of battle, not the oldest profession. Hookers were a right of passage of our division recondo course.

IDC SARC

Used to be a similar right at the USMC Mountain Warfare Training Center too. It’s an easy drive to legal houses of prostitution.

Maybe a silly question, but doesn’t putting an ad up, then arresting those who respond count as entrapment?

More like “entertainment” for the FRG when they read the local and/or post morning edition.
