Clay Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Resourceful Marines Our Major did not have a jeep to ride around in and we, being resourceful Marines, decided to change that. Our compound was next door to an Army compound which made it very convenient. As you all know, jeeps did not have keys, just a switch that added to the convenience of our plan. One night, an Army jeep, for some unknown reason, disappeared. The next day, members of the comm platoon , having found some Marine Corps green paint, made a beautiful job of transitioning the Army transportation into Marine transportation. Now we had to get some markings. Fortunately, we had a person that made records for the vehicle back a few years and we were in business. We were so proud of ourselves. God almighty, those were the days. Names withheld and all associations withheld due to statute of limitations Sgt. Grit Newsletter.
