We had a guy in our division that could score ANYTHING we needed! We regularly ran out of pens and our allotment. We would send him on a "pen run" and he'd return with boxes! For some reason, he's one of the few people who's name I remember after 45 years; Alton Prentice.

"Yo! A.Prentice front and center!" I went thru boot camp with a guy whose last name was Case. The dumbass named his son Justin. Nothing like setting your kid up for a lifetime of grief.

There was a fellow in my Army Basic Combat Training (boot camp) platoon with a very difficult to pronounce last name. Our drill sergeant's solution? He simply called the trainee "Alphabet."

him back to the motor pool to drain the air tanks on the 3/4 ton truck. Of course, the 3/4's had no air tanks.

We also sent the new guys for those very hard to get "supplies;" 50' of chow line CGU-11's, buckets of steam, torpedo charts... One thing the new "deck apes" were sent to get was the key to the stern gate (I was on an LPD). One enterprising machinist mate made a key. The designated mark proudly presented the "key" to the chief. Without skipping a beat, the chief told him great, now open it!

I was an "airdale" so we would send our virgins to fetch "flight line" and 'prop wash".

Checkered paint? No, but a trip to the Gedunk to pick up some Aileron Rolls was a favorite also.

I think I learned stick on gpa's 1904 Masey-Ferguson.
Gpa's, not my dad's. Although I'm positive he and all his brothers probably also learned on the same tractor. HOT metal seat in the Iowa summers . . .

"It all began in the 1960s when Arnold Palmer's go for broke style of golf bolstered a legion of fans, coined by the press as Arnie's Army. Today, Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation has been entrusted to continue their legacy of philanthropy." Don't know shit about golf. Never watched golf on TV, never played golf, except miniature golf with my kids and one time went to the driving range with a buddy. Just wasn't interested, still not. |
