The Gulf Breeze Six incident refers to the desertion of six soldiers from the American 701st Military Intelligence Brigade who traveled to Gulf Breeze, Florida spurred by their spiritualist beliefs.

Michael Hueckstaedt, Kris Perlock, William Setterberg, Vance Davis, Kenneth G. Beason, Annette Eccleston were declared absent without leave from their base at Augsburg on July 9, 1990, in what was then West Germany.

Beliefs attributed to Christian eschatology appear to have played a role in their decision to journey to Florida. According to Stars and Stripes, Beason told family members and other people that they believed they could to survive the end of the world. Members of their units reported that some members of the group initially intended to kill the antichrist.

On July 14, four of the six were arrested at the Gulf Breeze home of one Anna Foster after Hueckstaedt attracted police attention for a traffic violation. Foster was described by police as a psychic.

They were arrested in Florida on July 14 and 15, they were detained at the Fort Benning army post; because of their access to highly classified material, they were changed with desertion rather than being absent without leave.
