Civilian jobs on military bases?

[lpnracer]

Ten years ago,before I retired, I went with my Captain to the ASP(ammunition supply point) to draw ammo for my platoon. We had a narrow time frame to qualify as the ranges are reserved for short time blocks and running over is not an option. A fat, greasy slob eating a heart attack sandwhich, wiped his mouth with his sleeve after making us stand around for about ten minutes and gave my Captain grief over not having some damned form in triplicate. My Captain and I served together in Nam when we were both enlisted and this slobs disrespect sent me over the edge. He said to my captain " you cant have the ammo without the right forms I guess that you arent very good at being a captain are you? what would you do if we were at war?" Before he could answer I said " I would draw my sidearm and place a bullet in your forehead and we would have all the ammo we need." I had to go visit the Colonel for offending the dork. Left a lasting and unfavorable impression.

Not a problem Thepriapus I was in the same situation more times than I can remember. Also if an off base run was within 3 hours of end of shift we grunts got the runs while the civilian drivers sat on their duffs. Many a late night. Oh and the civie drivers never got the fun stuff like the base shuttlebus.

Ipnracer good one I probably would have done the same and thank you and the good Captain for your diligent service.
