Who urinated in her boots? A mystery at a California military base brings cover-up claims
For Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pineda, a 15-year veteran of the California Air National Guard, the military was a family calling. She followed her older sister and brother-in-law into the guard, where she now holds an administrative position at the elite 144th Fighter Wing in Fresno.
On a March morning four years ago, Pineda was about to dress into a uniform she had stored overnight in a stall in the women’s bathroom when she made a foul discovery. Someone had urinated in her boots.
The incident left Pineda humiliated and frightened and would trigger a series of behind-the-scenes investigations whose scope has come to extend beyond what happened that day at the Fresno base.
The defiling of Pineda’s boots has led to allegations that high-ranking officers tried to bury the incident, including by destroying evidence that could have potentially identified a suspect through DNA, and retaliated against a male pilot who supported her efforts to find the perpetrator, according to interviews and guard records obtained by The Times. Some in the wing have begun calling the ongoing saga “Pissgate.”............
Fighter wing? Should have been bombers.
What’s happening to the world? I’d treat it as a lesson (Don’t leave footwear or anything else in a bathroom stall) and just move on. I’d possibly get a tad concerned if it escalated and someone shat in my loafers or something.
Thank you Riksbar.
That has made my night.
The DNA reference reminded me of an episode of 'No Activity'. I dare say this is an obscure reference, but a reference none the less.
Outstanding.
Urine is not considered an ideal source of DNA due to the low concentration of nucleated cells present in
human urine. The nucleated cells found in urine are typically white blood cells and epithelial cells. There
are large differences between the amount of epithelial cells present in male and female urine. Females
are more likely to have a higher number of epithelial cells present in their urine, vaginal cells being the
chief contributors.
Btw, good job she's only in an 'administrative position'. If this episode has left her feeling 'frightened', imagine how scared she'd be had she found herself in an inverted negative g pushover with a Mig 28?
"I feel the need, the need for...wee'd"
She would probably wee in her own boots if confronted by radar lock if her wizzo couldnt jam it

Deep concerns someone on here is an expert on pissing
"Buzzing the tower" was rejected, clearly someone couldn't take an order...
Couldn't find the Tower, more like.
Jeez. She wouldnt have lasted 5 mins on our under 15's rugby tour to Minehead.
There was a reason why you wore your boots to bed. Having someone piss in them would be the lesser of 2 evils 💩😁
Considering the location, I have a sneaking suspicion that someone had a skinfull and basically missed the proper ‘receptacle’. I think that many of us have been guilty of that at some point or other...
The USAF has a somewhat dubious history about harassing women possibly not quite as bad as the navy (tailhook scandal for example) which might indicate why it is being taken more serious than "average" hazing although even with that there is a reason for the boundaries to be redrawn.

That's pretty amateur. You could have had fun if you lived in Kelso. The rugby 'banter' is great there.
In 2001 5 players got a slap on the wrist and a season ban after one of their team mates was left with internal injuries after an incident with a pool cue on his stag do. Oh the hilarity these rugger boys get up to.
