I never served but have been around enough Old timers to know that they will have flown military police from the mainland and be patrolling because the second those dudes don't check into their boat. They will get snatched up by military police

The ship has its own police force, and shore patrol will consist of MA's and people on assigned duty. They do not fly in military police... they're already on the boat.

You're totally right under normal circumstances but I firmly believe with how aggressive this administration is to look good at all times they will take extra precaution and up the numbers.

They absolutely would not take the chance of even a single news story getting out about AWOL's

Edit. Especially with the low morale. The pictures that are getting leaked of how bad the food is for them. Not to mention, I can't imagine they are gung-ho about what their mission is and how shitty it looks to the world.

This is the administration that murders its own citizens with an extra judicial masked police force after all
