Yes they happened in the mid and late 1970's to guys who were a CF all by themselves. One recruit got his whole company bumped back two weeks in boot camp cycle got a royal blanket party. The DI's pulled the idiot and put him in my company he went from week 7 to week 5 then to week 1 when he still caused trouble he got a second blanket party that finally got his attention. He straightened out and was number 3 in our company.
Note: A properly done blanket party leaves no visible bruises but it hurts the surprised person a heck of a lot.

Yes, I can assure you that they happen. Several occurred when I was in the Air Force. It wasn't for gays, it was for a couple snitches that got everyone in trouble. Or for someone that could not keep up with the flight and made us lose leave. I am sure that it still happens, it is too easy to do and the military rarely does anything about it. |

It might. I was involved in a blanket party where we went after I guy who didn't bathe. He got to stink so bad, we ambushed him and dragged him into the shower and soaked him down. We were going to attempt to scrub him with a brush, but he was kicking and flailing and none of us wanted to be that close to a naked, wet guy. A similar thing happened when my brother went in (blanket party on a non-bather). Never really paid much attention to potential gays, the "don't tell, don't ask" thing worked. Those we suspected were low-key and modest about it, so no one ever thought twice about them. |

We only blanket partied guys like Blnbyrose....he would have definitely gotten a blanket party and probably left pinned up for the gay guys. |

From what I've heard from relatives who were in the military they happen to people who chronically screw up and get everyone in trouble |

Only if you earn them. You have to do something really stupid to earn a blanket party. But they serve a purpose.......
Don't ask don't tell |

With out question Blanket Parties happen in boot camp. But, you have to be a REAL A$$HOLE to get one.
If you screw off and get your whole company in trouble all the time, you can expect one.
No, I don't think you would get one for being gay unless you acted stupid. |

Yes, I saw one. I didn't participate but I saw it happening.
The victim wasn't gay but he wasn't participating and had a bad attitude. That guy always complained and was generally a drag. The point of the party was to get him to play ball.
It worked... |

I saw it happen, circa 1987. Wasn't because he was gay, though. He was what was called a 'bravo foxtrot.' I can't interpret that for you on Yahoo, the first word is Buddy and the 2d is F___er |

It happened when I was in boot...we had a guy that would not shut his mouth. Now it was not like what was on Full Metal Jacket...but we did wrap him in a blanket and drug him into the locker...And surprise he was not all that talkative anymore. |

Only to those that deserve them. We never had a "blanket party" as such but we let the offender know that he had incurred the wrath of his comrades. A drunk that always got his buddies in trouble had his gentiles painted black with edge dressing after he had passed out. A photograph was made and hung displayed through-out the barracks. He got off light considering the trouble he caused everyone. |

Bottom line it does happen, rarely, but only when you deserve it, i saw three in one night once, all on the same homo, yes he was a homo and was caught doing the nasty deed with another guy, one chose to get out of the army and the other said he was sleeping and didnt know what the other guy was doing, but the witnesses who caught them said no way he was sleeping. anyway that homo decided the military wasnt for him and did the honorable thing, instead of servint the military and being a liar to himself and his country, he decided to get out where he belongs as it is illegal to be a homo in the military. |

i been blanket partied once in Marine Corps boot camp. i was fast asleep, and then i was like in a daze running around the squadbay screaming. i felt some pain on my body. i broke loose before they had a chance to get me good. but trust me it helps you get your head out of your a s s! lol, it sorts of help u get with the program. i remember one recruit was blanket partied, he ran to the drill instructors duty hut screaming and banging on the door, the drill instructor opened the door, laughed in his face, and slammed his door shut. now u know who "persuades" recruits to do this |

Yes. It happens to the chronic screw ups who keep getting everyone punished. When I was in Basic at Ft. Sill in 1984 we had 2 for the same guy. The first one really couldn't be called a blanket party because it happened in the showers. About 20 of us scrubbed his smelly a*s with scrub brushes and several boxes of laundry soap. We were sick of his stench. About 2 weeks later he got the blanket treatment in his bunk at night. |

I was in the army, and I have not seen a blanket party, but there are stories that the Marines do this often. |

Hell no but there are alot of fignts in bootcamp. I was in one my first week. If you plan on going to the military leave army and the marines out of you head and you'll be fine. |

Not to my knowledge, I am a retired soldier and have never experienced this or know of this happening to anyone including suspected gays. |

It's just regular people in the military - hate crimes happen outside, so it's just the same thing. I wouldn't say they happen all the time, but I can't say they won't. That didn't happen to my co-division when I went through, but I have heard stories. |

I never went to college or the military because they both have kind of a gay feel to them. Fraternitys and their paddles and doing homo type stuff. I have a feeling what you are talking about is in this catagory. |
