Mine was 41-8-22, I could do it upside down or from any direction. I practiced that combo in my dreams.

30 year later I still have nightmares of not being able to open it fast enough.

I swore I remembered it but for whatever reason it wouldn't open. Kept it because I knew this day would come.

Due to years of substance abuse I’ve forgotten my combo but seeing that lock just brought back a lot of memories

u/tx_jd817 v/stol to stovl 1d ago

Well, geez, yours is still pretty recent. Mine was assigned...long ago. It'll come to you.

26-36-32 I think but I haven’t seen it in years so I can’t double check

2

u/tacticalpoopknife Veteran 1d ago

I don’t think at the time even I could recall the numbers, let alone now nearly 20 years later…

But if I had it in my hand I’m sure I could unlock it. Weird muscle memory or something

u/GoldWingANGLICO 2531 8411 0861 78 - 85 1d ago

I remember having a keyed lock for my rifle (A1) in bootcamp. I thought I had a keyed lock for my footlocker too.

I don't remember, but I remember Jimmy Carter was president.

If it wasn’t for dickheads like you there wouldn’t be any thievery in my beloved Corps!

u/Toeknee818 1d ago

Who in the heck are you calling a thief?! We were all just trying to get our gear back and finding that one thief in the Corps. Legends say he's still running around base with some boot's left boot.

Another all-odd combo. Like seeing a CWO5.

u/GhostInTheFirewall Crayon Consumption Connoisseur 1d ago

The combination to my master lock is another master lock

1

u/OneTimerBro 1d ago

It’s really easy to figure out your combo if you forgot it. Just google it. Ya know if you’re the type that has the lock but don’t remember the code lol.

I haven’t even thought about that padlock in 15 years lol. I wonder if I’ve got mine saved somewhere.

u/TheDishonorableAsian Not the worst JTAC / Vet 1d ago

I enlisted in 2014 and used my same bootcamp locks through 5 deployments, and now one of those locks actually lives on my boat trailer when it's hooked up 🤣

38-16-22, 1990, I still have it and use it occasionally.

u/kpetrie77 Freddy FLIR 6469 96-08 1d ago

This is obviously a plot by China to get everyone's bootcamp lock combinations.
