In Reply to: Stupidity in the service. posted by oldtanker on January 07, 2015 at 17:26:08:

When I was in Germany in 1970 I was in stationed
at the largest Army Engineer Depot in Europe. Our
shop waas appox 1/2 mile long and an 1/8 mile
wide. Gen Westmoreland came thru our shop.A month
before he got there all work stopped and the paint
came out. Instead of painting new lines on the
floor they used aluminum painted yellow tape for
the strips on the floor. Well we rebuilt heavy
equitment and you can guess what happened when
tracked equit ran over it. The gen came thru and
he got down by use with all the brass around him.
He stopped and his face got red.He turned to the
Head officer of the depot and said what the h kind
of shop do you run here. I expect to see one that
people work in. Then he turned and headed toward
us. We all knew that an a## chewing was comming
but one of the Captins came over to our LT and
shook his hand. LT said hi Dad we almost fell
over. The Capt was his FIL. I ran into this Lt
years later at FT Hood and he was a Lt Col. He
still remember me. His nickname was Hockey puck
when I knew him in Germany
