Back in the mid-1980s, we had a female Lt who managed to lock her keys in her car at a kaserne in Stuttgart GE. She was frantic as she had to get to a meeting, so she grabbed a nearby SSgt and asked for help unlocking her car. She said, "SSgt ____, please get my keys out of my car. I can't be late for my meeting. I don't care how you do it!" The SSgt walked over to his toolbox and grabbed a hammer. He went straight to her car and smashed the driver's side window. He reached in, extracted the keys and handed them to her. The Lt went nuts on him. She tried to have him brought up on charges; however, there were many witnesses, including me, that heard her say "I don't care how you do it." He walked.

SN Greg Wright - Knowing the Lt personally, she may have just thought that was a necessary tool for the job. She was fairly clueless outside of her areas of technical expertise.

MSgt Richard Rountree - she knows now and that's what's important. Every experience is a time for learning.

Coming back through the wire & being challenged by the Marine on watch, one of my team-members who shall remain nameless replied, "Communist infiltrators". You could not only hear a pin drop, but also the safeties coming off... Then the muffled laughter. Ahhh, good times!
