  In this paper we study the experimental consequences of a theory which
naturally has a heavy, stable (or almost stable) gluino. We define the boundary
conditions at a messenger scale $M \sim 10^{14}$ GeV which lead to this
alternative phenomenologically acceptable version of the minimal supersymmetric
standard model.
  In this theory, either the gluino or the gravitino is the lightest
supersymmetric particle [LSP]. If the gravitino is the LSP, then the gluino is
the next-to-LSP with a lifetime on the order of 100 years. In either case, the
gluino is (for all practical purposes) a stable particle with respect to
experiments at high energy accelerators. Thus the standard missing energy
signature for SUSY fails. A stable gluino forms a color singlet hadron, the
lightest of which is assumed to be an isoscalar gluino-gluon bound state
($R_0$). The $R_0$ has strong interactions and will interact in a hadronic
calorimeter; depositing some fraction of its kinetic energy. Finally, in the
case the gravitino is the LSP, bounds from searches for stable heavy isotopes
of hydrogen or oxygen do not apply to the metastable $R_0$.
