Army: Sick Soldiers Drank Compound Found in Antifreeze

Well.... I did have a TorpedoMan that worked for me and he was always a little "off" !!!

LT Brad McInnis - Those pesky Engrs can always find a way. We could usually find a bottle of Cutty Sark if we asked the right CPO nicely. The Korean hootch was a better alternative to soju. Ration cards at USAF Class VI in Taegu, and transportation made legal stuff a rare commodity. We invited CO and party to our hill at MEC-P for a small gathering. Expecting burnt weenies and a few beers, they were amazed by the spread of meat and liquor. The SeaBees took good care of us.

CWO3 (Join to see) - I was tasked to a Korean exercise, and was "introduced" to soju. That stuff is EVIL, awesomely tasty but EVIL. We went to a little bar and the server brought it out in a little container and it looked and tasted like fruit juice. I was looking at the little container like "is this it?" Drank one or two, can't remember much except I couldn't feel my nose, and my legs didn't work going to the bathroom. Of course by the 4th or 5th little pot I really didn't care....

CWO3 (Join to see), necessity is the mother of invention! This is a girdle being used as an engine part aboard a submarine in the 1959 movie, Operation Petticoat! Who knows? Maybe it was really possible! Ironically, it was an Army nurse who showed the Chief Motor Machinist's Mate that it could be done!

LTC Stephen C. - I learned early that not all PFC answers were stupid, and to listen. My motto was "just make it work, we'll make it pretty later". Once investigated for doing 5th echelon Depot level repairs on Amtracs, once for LAVs, but was ok on both. My report card was the readiness per LM2 report of supported unit(s). We were in areas that warranted our actions. As the Intermediate Maintenance Activity (IMA) we had 3rd and limited 4th echelon authorization but because of the Source Maintenance Recoverability (SMR) codes we were ok both times. Our call, and it kept that gear in the fight. Sometimes a customer complains because you did too much.
