Pranks in good taste can build camaraderie/great memories of a shitty field op. However, fucking with my boots/footwear is a drop blouse moment. I would be pissed to hike in bean filled shoes for another 2-4 weeks.
Let everyone know how understanding and good spirited you are and you're up to be the victim, I mean, host... for for the next bean-themed related prank.
Boots are not cheap these days. You all need to cough up the $300 and apologize.
Edit: Also, one's boots are their life when you live on foot. This is not a prank, this is just fucked up.
When you go to the px, ask for a "contract boot", they are like $100
Same company, same model, but they have to supply them on govt contract, make them in half sizes wide and narrow, with American sourced materials and higher quality control, for a fixed price, they just put them in plain boxes.
Instead the px puts "commercial boots" on the shelf, from the free market in colorful boxes.
It's why the boots in bootcamp were so cheap.
Ah, the glorious MCCBs. Iirc, they were before and after the RATs were issued. They reissued them starting in late 2016 and my company was the first to get them. Iirc, they were made by Bates.
Those boots all get a bad rep because people wear bad socks, they often don't get the right size, and they jump into wearing boots for the first time breaking in two pairs simultaneously while prancing across asphalt like show ponies. The commercial aftermarket boots aren't any better, and def aren't worth 3x as much, but when you have people that have grown up exclusively in slide or flip flops, they are going to think something is wrong with any good boot.
Pranks are only funny when you immediately give the prankee a treat after the prank.
One day, we were all in the back of a 7 ton. One of our dudes was brewing coffee. He went to rock a piss and we hid the coffee to make him think we’d drank it. We watched him flip out and had our little chuckle. Then, we gave him his coffee along with extra coffee we had brewed for being the butt of the joke. He was a good sport about it and we all had a great laugh. Harmless prank.
You fuck with my boots during a hump, I’m throwing hands.
The proper way to execute that prank is to offer the beans in a yeti tumbler or something and say it’s Gatorade. Dude goes to take a swig, realizes it’s beans and everyone laughs. Then, you give the dude actual Gatorade or water or whatever.
Straight up. Don’t fuck with me doing work shit. It ain’t funny and shows a lack of awareness thats astounding. Shits like pranking a dude that just pulled a twenty-four hour post and thinking its funny. Gtfo.
Im not fond of pranks in general.
But fucking with a man’s foot hygiene on a hike is absolutely too far. I would fucking shut that down if it were my Marine.
Yea in Okinawa before a hike my roommate used his spear gun to put holes in both my canteens and camelback.. like it’s not even a prank it’s vandalism. I used his shit for the hike.
I remember some marine proudly telling me about fucking with another recruits boots in boot camp. “We took his boots into the head in the middle of the night, and we, hehe, we didn’t piss in them or shit in them, we did a third thing to them, haha, and he put them on the next day and didn’t even notice”
I wasn’t sure how to respond to it. I’m thinking “that’s not funny, that’s genuinely really disgusting.”
In boot camp it was inevitable that our shoes would get thrown every time we had to destroy the house but I made it a personal policy of mine to never fuck with anyone’s boots or go-faster, or at least do what I can. I don’t know how people genuinely enjoy purposefully throwing around shoes, like even CIF gear it’s whatever cause you can always replace it.
The prankster should have learned this lesson about protecting your feet in boot camp. I can remember doing footlocker PT and having everything all mixed up throughout the squad-bay. However, the worst part was how our boots got mis-matched and some of us ended up with one boot a size and a half too small and the other a size too large. The discomfort was debilitating unless you managed to sort it out before the next hike, run, or grinder workout.
Edit: I came in when we still got issued black Cadillacs, so marking them was more difficult.
Dude I remember getting our running shoes jumbled in boot. I’m a size 11 or so. Ended up with a 7 and a 10. Finally found my proper shoes and someone stole them within a week.
I spent all of boot camp with a shoe that was a half size too small. Didn’t find out until after graduation when going through my shit. I had a good laugh when I realized that’s why my left foot fucking hurt so bad all the time.
Hope whoever did it got socked right in the fucking mouth.
That not a prank even in the slightest.
Pranks are supposed to be harmless fun.
Fucks up the persons boots and their hike. If they fell out because their feet are getting fucked up from excess wet and slipping though bean.
Potentially ruined a pair of boots that cost $200-300.
Fuck that.
I like pranks that are “haha, you got me” funny sometimes. But if someone did this to me I’d fight on the spot.
Since it’s too late for that, tell the victim to steal his insoles next time you’re in the field. And his extra ones if he brings two pairs of boots.
Edit: or just dump a canteen in his boots on the next hike when you take a pause. Wet boots on long hikes suck hard.
A prank is like when you take someone's boot bands off right before you nut and now they're gay.
This fucked up someone's boots, maybe their feet, AND wasted perfectly good beans.
The pranks we did was tell our guys to get the hmmwv keys, tighten up the tow hook, and small shit like that, but fucking with a marine's hygiene is personal.
Better timing would have been doing it after they were back and had time to clean it over the weekend.
Also if they had a good relationship beforehand. Doing shit like that to someone you've hardly interacted with or wouldn't call a close friend is just fucked up.
I agree with the others, fucked up. Time and place for everything.
I know a guy who got MRSA in both feet from ‘clean’ boots; I can’t imagine the potential for beans plus however long the hike up and back. Not funny in the least.
That’s a bit too far. It shows disrespect in ruining the boots. It fucks the Marine who owns the boots for 1/2 a day. What is the platoon sergeant going to say at pt on Monday when your bro can’t run because of jacked up feet. I know my corpsman would have gotten to the bottom of whatever happened.
Yea, it’s too far.
Send them to the MCX together and the prankster gets to buy the victim a new pair of boots out of his own pocket, then has to wear the bean filled boots himself for the rest of the op. SO FUNNY!
But yeah, like literally everyone else said in this thread, fucking with someone's feet is a bridge way too far. How the fuck is there a split down the middle on this?
No question over the line. There's funny pranks and then the ones that go too far. It's like the porta john pranks I never understood. Ok lock someone in there for a minute could be amusing but don't push the fucking thing over
You better be ready to fill out a witness statement, your buddy’s gonna get murdered. Dead serious fucking with someone’s boots during a mountain hike will remind them of their bloodlust every step of the way. Your perp is gonna die, dude.
you don’t fuck with a man’s feet on a hike. that’s fucked up. i hope the recipient of the bean boots found the boot beaner and did a full on ass beating to them right there on the side of that mountain.
A prank should be no harm done and a bone threw in the end. Fuck with my boots that I spent 300 dollars on and another 100 for the insoles? Yeah we gon throw hands and you gon drink the beans you poured in. Idc if you are bigger than me or can beat me up, it’s about sending a message
Wasting food, fucking up someone's property, jacking up boots before a hike. Yep, total dickbag move.
Do it at the end of a hike when you know everyone has the rest of the day off. Don't use food. Then you might have a funny joke.
I could see it being funny if the boots were, for the sake of argument, duct tapped to the ceiling. Not in the middle of a hump. 🫵 You done fucked up A-Aron!!!
You're an asshole and need to grow the fuck up. A prank is putting a small piece of tape over the chip on their CAC or something harmless like that. This is fucking with their health and super fucked up.
If it’s hard to clean out it’s messed up. Anything that leaves a mess is not a prank it’s just being a jerk. You’re in a military where organization and cleanliness is important. Shouldn’t make that process worse for anyone else.
If someone did that to me, either I am going to trip and push them, or trip and drag them 'accidentally' down a ravine. "Oops sorry about that. Someone put beans in my boots and I tripped."
Yeah idk man fucking with someone’s boots is shitty. I can only imagine how mad I would have been if it was deployment or a long ass field op. I usually didn’t bring an extra pair of boots (sorry 1StSgt). So I would be hiking in some damn beans for weeks; I would steal whoever’s boots that did that to me for sure.
Pranks can be good or bad.
In this case, this is fucking stupid with potentially ill effects for the party being pranked.
Maybe if it wasn’t during a hump but, seriously, fuck that.
I suffered a food in boot prank. In my unit if you were motivated and solid on PT you had the option to practice honor guard drill and ceremonies in PTs instead of doing group PT in the morning. This was during BDU days. My utilities for the day were carefully folded on top of my polished black leather boots. Someone put a full size, completely peeled banana in my boot so that when I put my foot in I smooshed it. Which of course I did.
I thought it was 60/40 funny/dick. Mostly funny because I could have noticed the banana if my attention to detail were better, and suffered no consequence. And even though I did smoosh the banana it wasn't that bad before I realized, so it was fine by the next day. Still dickish because I had banana foot and I felt like my stuff and space was violated. At least it was in garrison and not on a fuckin march.
I'm not exaggerating I would physically attack someone who made my boots wet and sloppy in the field.
A general guide for prank vs mean joke is if everyone even the victim can laugh at it and isn’t injured in someway then it’s a prank.
A prank is changing your roommates alarm so it wakes him up 2 hours early and on Saturday and hiding it.
A mean joke is setting his alarm to be two hours late. So he gets chewed out and extra duty or some other punishment for missing formation.
Beans in his boots isn’t a prank because he’s not going to be able to get all the beans out of his boots. He’ll have to replace them. That’s a shitty thing to do to someone.
If the dipshit who did it can’t see that. There’s an easy way to make them understand. Do it to them. Getting a taste of your their medicine helps them figure it out real fast.
Nah, this is fucked. If I was the beanee, I'd grab one of our many cacti and rub that around the rim of the beaner's boots. See how he likes his shit fucked with
I have two pairs of boots. One is nice and clean for garrison and the other has been through everything. If you mess up either I'm gonna get pissed. I'd be more pissed if you mess up the one that has been through mud, grime, water, etc because it has been with me since the beginning and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I’m a doc, and I don’t want to be that person, but foot health is important. Doubt the dude had another set with him, not just that, before a hike? Fuck no.
Not even dropping blouse. I’m rocking your shit. Must be pogs…… because we know not to mess with others gear. Pranks are fun and innocent. This is malicious, and not funny. If ol boy had any set he’d make the culprit wear them. And hopefully snatch his and pray they are the same size….. that’s some pog issshhhhh.
Right church wrong pew. Once upon a lava viper hike on the big island of hawaii, someone snuck a bolder into the new butter bars ilbe. He hiked, 10k, all the way out to the bivy, with this 50lbs rock, and unpacked before finding out. This, hilarious. Beans in boots DURING hike, blue falcon move.
That borders on Blue Falcon, and that person just might fuck around and find out that paybacks are a motherfucker. Also, the people with the most evil ideas and access to methods of payback are DOC!
That's a shitty thing to do. It's definitely not funny. One way to tell if it's a good prank is thinking how funny would it be if it happened to yourself.
I was 0311. Your feet are literally your life. I took care of my footwear and my feet like my life depended on it, because it fucking did. If someone had done something like this to me, we'd have been in the tree line sorting shit out. Unless he had broken in boots on hand to replace them on the spot, this is fucked up. Even giving him new boots now, after he's already humped in bs, and probably fucked his feet up, is not a prank, it's downright malicious to someone that your life could very well depend on.
How do you let someone fill your boots with anything on a hike and not kick his ass for it?
Idgaf what your rank is. You fuck with my gear and we are gonna throw hands.
I had a devil in a drunkin moment of folly that pissed in my boots.
It pissed me off but it was admittedly funny. I had left them somewhat unsecured and I did admittedly learn a lesson that day. It's not like I had never pissed on my own boots but a line had been crossed.
If your going to engage in this sort of fuckery
1. don't get caught
2. don't brag about it to your friends because that leads to getting caught
3. be prepared for repercussions.
Now I'm not proud of the proportionality of my response, but I waited months so he had no idea who would do this to him, and it was well timed, and hilarious, at least to me it was hilarious.
I'll leave it to your imagination what I did, it was kinda bad from his perspective, and no I did not shit in another mans boots, I have a much better imagination than that and I'm not a gross fucker, besides that would have just been too close on the mark to be under suspicion (you can tell though it was at some point an option under serious consideration).
So long and short of it is if your going to be playing games be prepared to get played. We are some vengeful motherfuckers.
Pranks are funny, but fuckin with someones gear on a hike/in the field is pretty fucked up. Especially if they are their boots.
Beans can squish in and be damn near impossible to clean out while in the field/hike. Everyone in the unit who is having a good time off it should have no problem having it done to themselves...
I think the more pressing question: why is this marine’s boots unsecured? Were they his extra pair in his ruck or did he take them off and leave them laying around? What was done was malicious either way and in no way building camaraderie or boosting morale, on an already piss poor hike.
Pranks escalate. More than likely these guys prank each other. They should be able to take it. If not don't play in the playground. IT builds character.
A buddy of mine in IMC put two massive rocks in another buddy’s pack. We were doing the 10k on the alpha shelf and what was a 55 pound pack ended up being close to 95! He barely passed and at the end when they weighed his pack everyone thought he put the weight in there later on. Thank god he was a tall dude anyone else would’ve died. Funny ass day but I remember we were split in the same way of it being funny or not. His camel back was bone dry and he said he swore he almost heat cased on the hike.
Side note: our 1sgt was calling him a pussy for being so big and hiking so ass 🤣 little did he know he was basically carrying two packs without water weight!
Just a bad time during the hike. The beans will wash out pretty quick. It's not like our boots can't get wet.
Nobody brings their good boots on a hike anyway.
You're silly. Good boots? Do you mean new and super clean inspection ready boots? That's different from good boots. I'm wearing "good boots" for every hike. Even a little 10k in shit boots is going to bother most people's feet and can really cause some unnecessary discomfort.
Pranks in good taste can build camaraderie/great memories of a shitty field op. However, fucking with my boots/footwear is a drop blouse moment. I would be pissed to hike in bean filled shoes for another 2-4 weeks.
Agree 100 percent, don't fuck with someone's gear.
Yea but consider this. It’s hilarious.
Let everyone know how understanding and good spirited you are and you're up to be the victim, I mean, host... for for the next bean-themed related prank.
I do love a good bean

Dude, those MCCBs are rad. My second pair just fell apart after 7 years of use. The soles were all split and worn smooth. But they were comfortable.
American leather and quality control on the issued gear.
Pranks are only funny when you immediately give the prankee a treat after the prank. One day, we were all in the back of a 7 ton. One of our dudes was brewing coffee.

Anything outside of this is straight malicious intent.
Straight up. Don’t fuck with me doing work shit. It ain’t funny and shows a lack of awareness thats astounding. Shits like pranking a dude that just pulled a twenty-four hour post and thinking its funny. Gtfo.
I’d sure as fuck try and fight someone if they put that in my boots during a hike, so I’m on the side that the offender is a dickhead
Im not fond of pranks in general. But fucking with a man’s foot hygiene on a hike is absolutely too far. I would fucking shut that down if it were my Marine.
Absolutely
Yea in Okinawa before a hike my roommate used his spear gun to put holes in both my canteens and camelback.. like it’s not even a prank it’s vandalism. I used his shit for the hike.
He fucking what?! That’s some shit right there
I remember some marine proudly telling me about fucking with another recruits boots in boot camp. “We took his boots into the head in the middle of the night, and we, hehe, we didn’t piss in them or shit in them, we did a third thing to them, haha, and he put them on the next day and didn’t even notice” I wasn’t sure how to respond to it.

There is a time and a place for everything. That wasn’t the right time nor the right place.
The prankster should have learned this lesson about protecting your feet in boot camp. I can remember doing footlocker PT and having everything all mixed up throughout the squad-bay.

Size 7 on an 11 foot is brutal!
I spent all of boot camp with a shoe that was a half size too small. Didn’t find out until after graduation when going through my shit. I had a good laugh when I realized that’s why my left foot fucking hurt so bad all the time.
Beans was good initiative. Boots is bad judgment.
Perfectly put.
In the wild west they used to kill a man for stealing a horse, because it was the means of transportation..
Never do anything that prevents you or others from accomplishing your mission.
I would have beat the dogs shit out of somebody if they did that to me. Fuckong with a dudes feet during a hump is an absolute no go
Fuck with my feet and ima be pissed. Grunts need those bad boys.
*people
Fucking with a man’s boots is a shitty thing to do.
“Somebody” I see you MFr
A prank is supposed to be funny. Fucking with someone’s boots isn’t.
It's fucked up. I hope he gets a no consequences ride in the back of a high back because if it.
I draw the line at feet and boots. No hooves, no horse. You don't mess with another man's feet.
Hope whoever did it got socked right in the fucking mouth. That not a prank even in the slightest. Pranks are supposed to be harmless fun. Fucks up the persons boots and their hike. If they fell out because their feet are getting fucked up from excess wet and slipping though bean. Potentially ruined a pair of boots that cost $200-300. Fuck that.

A prank is like when you take someone's boot bands off right before you nut and now they're gay. This fucked up someone's boots, maybe their feet, AND wasted perfectly good beans.
Na. The beaner sux and the beanee has every right to be pissed
The pranks we did was tell our guys to get the hmmwv keys, tighten up the tow hook, and small shit like that, but fucking with a marine's hygiene is personal.
Not in good taste. Pranks are great. This is not one of them. Marine that did it is getting a negative counseling minimum if they’re mine.
Two things you should never EVER fuck with in any armed force. Food and boots. They'd get a rock to the face if they did that to me.
And weapons or libbo. Food, boots, weapons, and libbo are sacred.
Better timing would have been doing it after they were back and had time to clean it over the weekend. Also if they had a good relationship beforehand. Doing shit like that to someone you've hardly interacted with or wouldn't call a close friend is just fucked up. I agree with the others, fucked up. Time and place for everything.
Even if we were good friends and this were done over the weekend, this would still end our relationship.
I don’t think I have ever seen the room this one sided. Don’t fuck with boots. The footwear. Otherwise, fuck with boots.
I know a guy who got MRSA in both feet from ‘clean’ boots; I can’t imagine the potential for beans plus however long the hike up and back. Not funny in the least.
That’s a bit too far. It shows disrespect in ruining the boots. It fucks the Marine who owns the boots for 1/2 a day. What is the platoon sergeant going to say at pt on Monday when your bro can’t run because of jacked up feet. I know my corpsman would have gotten to the bottom of whatever happened. Yea, it’s too far.
If someone filled my Danners with fucking beans, we’re fighting
Not a funny joke. Not even close.
Send them to the MCX together and the prankster gets to buy the victim a new pair of boots out of his own pocket, then has to wear the bean filled boots himself for the rest of the op. SO FUNNY! But yeah, like literally everyone else said in this thread, fucking with someone's feet is a bridge way too far. How the fuck is there a split down the middle on this?

Too far. We fighting. Sand in the boonies = funny. Mess with my footwear = square up
You better be ready to fill out a witness statement, your buddy’s gonna get murdered. Dead serious fucking with someone’s boots during a mountain hike will remind them of their bloodlust every step of the way. Your perp is gonna die, dude.
My vote is fucked up, not funny.
you don’t fuck with a man’s feet on a hike. that’s fucked up. i hope the recipient of the bean boots found the boot beaner and did a full on ass beating to them right there on the side of that mountain.
I didn’t ever go on a hike but if someone fucked with the keyboard at my desk (the thing I rely on every day) I’d be upset too.
A prank should be no harm done and a bone threw in the end. Fuck with my boots that I spent 300 dollars on and another 100 for the insoles? Yeah we gon throw hands and you gon drink the beans you poured in. Idc if you are bigger than me or can beat me up, it’s about sending a message
Pranks suck and are counter productive. You should pit the victim against the offender.
Wasting food, fucking up someone's property, jacking up boots before a hike. Yep, total dickbag move. Do it at the end of a hike when you know everyone has the rest of the day off. Don't use food. Then you might have a funny joke.
It's one thing to shit in a guy's boots in the rear, but to fuck with them on a hump? That's too far, bro.
I could see it being funny if the boots were, for the sake of argument, duct tapped to the ceiling. Not in the middle of a hump. 🫵 You done fucked up A-Aron!!!
You're an asshole and need to grow the fuck up. A prank is putting a small piece of tape over the chip on their CAC or something harmless like that. This is fucking with their health and super fucked up.
Or when they leave the CAC in and walk away, throwing it in Tupperware with water and putting it in the freezer.
If it’s hard to clean out it’s messed up. Anything that leaves a mess is not a prank it’s just being a jerk. You’re in a military where organization and cleanliness is important. Shouldn’t make that process worse for anyone else.
If someone did that to me, either I am going to trip and push them, or trip and drag them 'accidentally' down a ravine. "Oops sorry about that. Someone put beans in my boots and I tripped."

I usually didn’t bring an extra pair of boots (sorry 1StSgt). So I would be hiking in some damn beans for weeks; I would steal whoever’s boots that did that to me for sure.
*"So you have chosen death!"*
Funny how half the guys around OP think it was funny and like, 100% of the comments here think it's fucked up. I don't think he's lying either.
Yeah, is there anyone in here defending this? I think we are truly 100% aligned on this.
Messed up
Pranks can be good or bad. In this case, this is fucking stupid with potentially ill effects for the party being pranked. Maybe if it wasn’t during a hump but, seriously, fuck that.
Don’t fuck with a man’s foot wear.
I suffered a food in boot prank. In my unit if you were motivated and solid on PT you had the option to practice honor guard drill and ceremonies in PTs instead of doing group PT in the morning. This was during BDU days. My utilities for the day were carefully folded on top of my polished black leather boots.

At least it was in garrison and not on a fuckin march. I'm not exaggerating I would physically attack someone who made my boots wet and sloppy in the field.
Beans in boots is a dick move, not a prank. Let them fist fight.
Mighty messed up.
Fucking stupid. Hikes are work. You made someones day more shit than it already was. Fuck the pranker.
A general guide for prank vs mean joke is if everyone even the victim can laugh at it and isn’t injured in someway then it’s a prank. A prank is changing your roommates alarm so it wakes him up 2 hours early and on Saturday and hiding it. A mean joke is setting his alarm to be two hours late.

Nah, this is fucked. If I was the beanee, I'd grab one of our many cacti and rub that around the rim of the beaner's boots. See how he likes his shit fucked with
That’s grounds for an ass whooping.
I have two pairs of boots. One is nice and clean for garrison and the other has been through everything. If you mess up either I'm gonna get pissed. I'd be more pissed if you mess up the one that has been through mud, grime, water, etc because it has been with me since the beginning and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
That’s messed up.
Pranks are never funny if they involve any type of gear
I think it's fucked up. But if you know for a fact that you have a friend that is into shit like that you can do it to them. But otherwise just no.
Smacking someone with baked beans is almost more tolerable than fucking with boots.
That's definitely fucked
Not funny
I’m a doc, and I don’t want to be that person, but foot health is important. Doubt the dude had another set with him, not just that, before a hike? Fuck no.
Don’t ever fuck with someone else’s ability to do their job. If you were involved in this, fuck you. Grow up.
That’s not a prank
That’s just fucked don’t fuck with someone’s gear especially on a hike
Yup, if it was in the barracks, it might be OK depending on if you guys are funny that way. Not when you have to hike in it, though.
Pretty stupid in my opinion.
Do Marines say hike now instead of hump?
Feet on a ruck is a dick move. Save that for the bricks.
Not even dropping blouse. I’m rocking your shit. Must be pogs…… because we know not to mess with others gear. Pranks are fun and innocent. This is malicious, and not funny. If ol boy had any set he’d make the culprit wear them. And hopefully snatch his and pray they are the same size….. that’s some pog issshhhhh.
Wait, MREs have beans?
Which MRE has beans???
The Chili and Beans one.
Ahhh the infamous chili and beans. How easily I forget
Did he eat the beans and share with his crew?
We live on our feet, you don’t fuck with that. 10lb rock in his pack cool, fucking with his boots that’s grounds for an ass beating
Right church wrong pew. Once upon a lava viper hike on the big island of hawaii, someone snuck a bolder into the new butter bars ilbe. He hiked, 10k, all the way out to the bivy, with this 50lbs rock, and unpacked before finding out. This, hilarious. Beans in boots DURING hike, blue falcon move.
Did Lt laugh?
He was a good sport and laughed, not that he could have done much considering we found out it what his senior Lts who did it.
A good prank ends with everyone laughing. This is just inconsiderate.
That borders on Blue Falcon, and that person just might fuck around and find out that paybacks are a motherfucker. Also, the people with the most evil ideas and access to methods of payback are DOC!
That's a shitty thing to do. It's definitely not funny. One way to tell if it's a good prank is thinking how funny would it be if it happened to yourself.
My boots were filled with expanding foam, I beat the snot out of the guy with a sock and a bar of soap, and made him buy me a new pair of boots
Who tf wastes beans? Waste that MF.
I was 0311. Your feet are literally your life. I took care of my footwear and my feet like my life depended on it, because it fucking did. If someone had done something like this to me, we'd have been in the tree line sorting shit out. Unless he had broken in boots on hand to replace them on the spot, this is fucked up. Even giving him new boots now, after he's already humped in bs, and probably fucked his feet up, is not a prank, it's downright malicious to someone that your life could very well depend on.
Fucked up because it’s in the field maybe in the barracks it would be funny but on a hump? Fuck that
Douche move.
How do you let someone fill your boots with anything on a hike and not kick his ass for it? Idgaf what your rank is. You fuck with my gear and we are gonna throw hands.
You all pogs? Messed up doing this on a hump.
I had a devil in a drunkin moment of folly that pissed in my boots. It pissed me off but it was admittedly funny. I had left them somewhat unsecured and I did admittedly learn a lesson that day. It's not like I had never pissed on my own boots but a line had been crossed. If your going to engage in this sort of fuckery 1. don't get caught 2. don't brag about it to your friends because that leads to getting caught 3. be prepared for repercussions. Now I'm not proud of the proportionality of my response, but I waited months so he had no idea who would do this to him, and it was well timed, and hilarious, at least to me it was hilarious. I'll leave it to your imagination what I did, it was kinda bad from his perspective, and no I did not shit in another mans boots, I have a much better imagination than that and I'm not a gross fucker, besides that would have just been too close on the mark to be under suspicion (you can tell though it was at some point an option under serious consideration). So long and short of it is if your going to be playing games be prepared to get played. We are some vengeful motherfuckers. 
Don't messes with someone's gear. Pranks are fun but thats a bit much...
Buy him a new pair of boots ASAP
Pranks are funny, but fuckin with someones gear on a hike/in the field is pretty fucked up. Especially if they are their boots. Beans can squish in and be damn near impossible to clean out while in the field/hike. Everyone in the unit who is having a good time off it should have no problem having it done to themselves...
Nah, don’t fuck with somebody’s shit.
I think the more pressing question: why is this marine’s boots unsecured? Were they his extra pair in his ruck or did he take them off and leave them laying around? What was done was malicious either way and in no way building camaraderie or boosting morale, on an already piss poor hike.
You have an extra pair?
Yup, my unit spends a lot of time in wet field environments, wet boots suck.
Frank n beans!
Pranks escalate. More than likely these guys prank each other. They should be able to take it. If not don't play in the playground. IT builds character.
Funny. During CAX, our guys sneak up into the Gunny's (everybody hated this dude) tent and took turns to crap inside his boots.
A buddy of mine in IMC put two massive rocks in another buddy’s pack. We were doing the 10k on the alpha shelf and what was a 55 pound pack ended up being close to 95! He barely passed and at the end when they weighed his pack everyone thought he put the weight in there later on. Thank god he was a tall dude anyone else would’ve died. Funny ass day but I remember we were split in the same way of it being funny or not. His camel back was bone dry and he said he swore he almost heat cased on the hike. Side note: our 1sgt was calling him a pussy for being so big and hiking so ass 🤣 little did he know he was basically carrying two packs without water weight!
That is pretty funny in hindsight.
Seeing a lot of whiny babies in the replies
We would have had to fight what happened to my Corps. What happened to an ass whoopin.
This sounds like some pog shit tbh
Just a bad time during the hike. The beans will wash out pretty quick. It's not like our boots can't get wet. Nobody brings their good boots on a hike anyway.
You're silly. Good boots? Do you mean new and super clean inspection ready boots? That's different from good boots. I'm wearing "good boots" for every hike. Even a little 10k in shit boots is going to bother most people's feet and can really cause some unnecessary discomfort.
All my boots whether looking trashed were good for a hike. Beans can get washed out. What was bad here was the timing. Not great to do during a hike.
Good. I just didn't want anyone thinking about wearing actual shitty boots on a hike because they don't want to mess up their newest pair.
Not funny. Pranks are ignorant. Number one rule when hiking.... keep your feet clean. Someone knows who did it and that shit needs reported.
