So true!

Reminds me of back in the 60's in Germany, when I got stuck with being Battalion pay officer. Yep, we paid in cash in those days.

My driver arrived in my jeep at the HQ. I came out and ask "what the hell is this all about?" and who is the NCO. He replied that the NCO was required as a gunner and that the mounted M-60 machine gun was his idea.

I reminded him that we were going about 50 kilometers to go pick up payroll, that we were NOT going to war! He reminded me that if we got robbed and lost the cash payroll that we could be held responsible, unless we were armed.

I told the NCO to take down the MG and told my driver that you two armed with M-14s and me with a 45 ACP, if we got held up and outgunned, that I would call in Close Air Support. He felt better knowing that I could do that, because I was also the BN S-3 Air.

Cpt humfrz - out.
