Back when I used to drive my M215 daily back and forth to work in Boston
I
had some serious fun.
You see, I'm in the Air Force.
The base commander began to receive several reports that fell into two
categories.
1. There's a vehicle in your motor pool that needs some serious
attention.
2. Someone's using a government vehicle for personal use.
These complaints sparked off several investigations that didn't turn up
anything out of the ordinary at the motorpool.
Then, one day, the Commander was making a tour of housing and he
happened to
see my '54 parked out front (I was replacing a windshield at the time).
He
parked his car and just watched. I would have stopped what I was doing
and
said Hi (sir), but I thought he was observing some of the Milcon
(construction) that was going on behind me. Eventually I waved (and
saluted)
and he drove off. Couple of weeks later he saw me and made a point of
asking
me what I was going to do with that "ugly G__ Damn truck". I told him I
was
fixing it up and was just going to drive it. He thought it was pretty
cool
and the complaints eventually stopped. Later when I was supporting the
boss
on a trip to the Pentagon he asked me to fly with him on his jet. He
told me
that I could go on one condition.... I couldn't park the '215 in front
of
base Ops! (I parked it in the back).
