I once drove a two-star around our base who gave me every impression that "the cheese had done slipped off his cracker." No names or locations 'cuz he may still be alive!!!

Mine was when we hauled six regular cars up to Fallujah from Kuwait that had no motors in them. When we started downloading them at TQ I asked one of the marines what they were going to do with cars that had no engines. He replied, "use them for target practice."

While at Ft Campbell, sometime between Oct 1988 and April 1990, had to take the M915 with trailer to get a pallet of batteries. One pallet. Couldn't have any holes in the floor of the trailer (not an easy thing to find) AND had to have another tractor follow me. The E5 "reading the map" got us lost and it ended up being an overnight trip. The batteries were for the stupid laser tag devices.
I asked the guys at the drop-off why. They said they had no idea and that they normally take one of the pickups they have there. They were civilians and really nice, just confused.
I could have hauled twice as many batteries in my 2 door escort! What a waste.
