- 1984, The Marine Corps Gazette, page 25:
- If, for example, you pay your mess bills with checks which repeatedly bounce, why shouldn't you get ten days under hack, or a court martial? If you say you have insurance, and then don't, why shouldn't the commanding general recommend you for a general court martial?
- 1989, Verle E. Ludwig, U.S. Marines at Twentynine Palms, California, page 90:
- Sometimes they got in the way and were "thrown in the brig" by Marines, or "confined to quarters" and "put under hack" by a kind, but firm father.
