In 1980 I re-enlisted after being out of the Corps for 13 years. As a police officer, during most of the 13 years, I took a lot of surveillance and suspect photos. Some Disney characters toured the housing areas aboard Camp Pendleton, promoting Military Night at Disneyland. An MP SNCO escorted them and he asked me, an MP Pfc, to go along and take photos. We had lunch at the San Luis Rey Officer’s Club and this is where I took the photo of Mickey & Goofy assuming “the position”.

You and I started as cops about the same time (circa 1967-68). By the mid-70’s we had moved away from the ‘leaning wall search’ technique because every inmate in the prison system knew how to defeat it, and practiced in the yard. Great cops like the late Bob Koga [LAPD] were teaching much safer and effective methods
So our MPs were using a real Mickey Mouse technique and had to be Goofy to use it. You know that Walt Disney would’ve had a J Edgar Hoover fit if he saw his characters being tossed …
Those look like a couple of suspicious characters to me!
Book-em, Marine! LOL
