RE: Any funny war stories to tell? - wulfir - 09-28-2007 I was a medic, RBS 90 company, "division" AA Bn. One manouver my platoon had been detailed with supporting both our own company and the B-Force (the "enemy") but our idot company adjutant (universally disliked") forgot to request supplies for the B-Force, we basically only had enough food etc for ourselves - so at one point the B-Force made a raid on our platoon and left a written message: "Give us more food, or we will take it!" :mad: Can't say we were too pleased with their attitude. We medics had a large amount of what we called "sharp gear" (as opposed to fake stuff like blanks), everything from first aid kits to various pills, including some pills that were meant to make people crap. So...., with the help from the cooks we put some of those pills in the sauce being prepared for the B-Force...  Althogh not all were affected it pretty much knocked out the B-Force for a while..., the officers were not too pleased, said it counted as sabotage, word had better not get out - but it did and those blokes of the B-Force swore revenge, and we expected it but nothing happened..., maybe they forgot...

That is almost like what happened to our major in DC. She went to Norfolk for a drive and started taking pictures of the ships, well it wasn't too long before her camera was in the hands of the MPs. They deleted her ship pictures but then she asked if she could get a tour of the carrier. They placed a call to the duty officer and sure enough she got a private tour of a nuclear carrier! BTW- those tanks at Aberdeen are in really sad shape, and have horrible paint jobs on them too. RE: Any funny war stories to tell? - seabolt - 11-25-2007 Here in San Antonio, Ft. Sam runs through the heart of the city. A few civilian roads ran through the base. After 911, these were closed to civilian traffic, but this is south Texas. You don't take a man's route home away from him lightly. Perhaps more to the point, with a few too many in you, it can be hard to remember that times have changed ... Anyway, during the runup to the latest Iraq campaign, a reservist friend ended up the LT in charge of one of the checkpoints. He's bored, he knows I'll still be up, calls me on his cell. We've been chatting for a while when I hear what sounds like three rapid 12-gauge shots (kind of hard to be sure on the other end of a cell connection ...). The funny part was his reaction. Cheery as can be he chirps "Gotta go!" and hangs up. Turns out an inebriated local forgot to stop at the newish checkpoint and an enthusiastic sentry took the opportunity to do his job. (Anyone with any local knowledge would know that the odds were something like drunken Texan 99.9%, Al-Quaida car bomb 0.1%.) Fortunately, the casualty count was nil. -- 30 -- |
