throw away my trash. I passed the dumpsters on the way to the latrine and threw my to go plate in the dumpster. Then l hid the
underwear on my person and thats when they saw me by the latrines. Then after everything calmed down( about an hour and a half
ma)be less) I threw the underwear away in a nearby dumpster. L told the people around me ( I dont recall who exactly because it was
dark and I had a flashlight in my face) I flushed the underwear because they kept asking me" What did )'OU do with the underwear?"
over and over again and I just gave them an answer to stop questioning me. I belive I wou ld have just shown them in hindsight but
