Was at National Guard summer camp in the Yakima Firing Center in eastern Washington (fancy name for the desert) in 1973 or so. Track came off a tank, I was the rookie, and they sent me back to the motor pool 10 miles away in a Jeep to get a BFR to put the track back on. Sergeant at the motor pool put on a big show- "Don't those idiots know that BFR's are to be obtained locally- its right there in the PAM- ask if any of them can read!"

So I dutifully drove back to the field, and relayed the message (without the idiot part). Huge laugh had by all- track was back on the tank, and they showed me the BFRs they had found- all were large rocks. I went along with the joke, and acted suitably embarrassed.

Although I would have kind of liked to learn how a track was put back on using large rocks, it did occur to me that 105° days were probably better enjoyed in an open top Jeep on the highway than trying to muscle a track back on an M48A1 tank.
