Worked on a military base that had a small lake. Against policy, a civilian employee went out fishing during his lunch break, somehow capsized his rowboat and had to be rescued by the on-base fire department. Unsurprisingly, he didn't lose his job over it.

Please tell me you're talking about lake bandini (pretty sure thats what we called the lagoon in 29 palms)

No, sorry. This was on the east coast. I bet the same story applies to a few different bases though lol.

Can't fire him; you have to keep the best and the brightest on your team! /s
