um, when were they not?

Do clankers still have butter bars jump up and down on top of a track to test the shocks?

Posted: 4/17/2012 3:48:37 PM EDT

[#18]

I am pretty sure they only have the E-9 grid squares. In maintenance they are on a hand receipt with the L shaped clutch aligning tools

Tip do not send to newbie shop officer to the shop office for said grid squares

Under no circumstances is ANYBODY allowed to tell me about the time I called a nurse that I knew to come to our battery supply room to bring a set of fallopian tubes to the RADAR section.

Even my crusty old Korean veteran sergeant about shit himself and died laughing.

To get them lined up, be sure and get some relative bearing grease when you visit supply

Right next to the M58 and M59 aiming post light chargers.

The kid we sent after them said "Well, they got vampire pumps and donkey dicks, I thought it was real".
Hard to argue with that logic

On deployment in Japan (50hz power) I sent my truly an idiot airman to get some 50hz batteries for the shop clock so it would keep good time.

I never understood why this is funny.

Oh, they tried it on me when I was a PVT. I as sent to find grid squares or something equally non-existent. I went back to my room and took a nap. Then went to chow and back to my room for another nap. Played some pool in the dayroom. Then toddled back to the motor pool about 15:00.

Nope, couldn't find any. Need me to look for anything else?

I just don't get it.

When I was working my way through college, in the summers I worked for a pipeline construction company.

The old hands always told the newbies to go to the tool man and get some striped paint for the fence posts on the right of way.

They didn't get me, but they got a bunch of people with that gag.

I did a shit load of pushups one day by asking our LT to go to supply and getting us a borebrush for the TOW launcher, Sir.
CO thought it was funny as hell. The guys in my plt told me it wasn't one of my better thought out moments. Lt Rock was not amused
