They asked for registration... didn't have it. It was a military vehicle.<br /><br />All kinds of calls are made, and afterwards the cop comes back and says "get out of here. This truck is too much trouble. Basically, you can get away with just about anything because there is no longer an officer in the area that will touch this vehicle with a ten foot pole."Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584765116897454546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585442725225382080.post-13111879931497113112010-03-22T13:58:21.573-05:002010-03-22T13:58:21.573-05:00PP, the problem was that while nobody was too both...PP, the problem was that while nobody was too bothered by driving an illegal truck on base, the ship was going into overhaul at a non-Navy shipyard. The truck would have been driven on civilian roads and there was a bit of a legal risk if the cops found out that the truck was illegally registered.<br /><br />Or so I was told. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if the CO was told something along the lines of "we know about the truck, don't take it off base anymore."Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585442725225382080.post-5594736437608032912010-03-22T13:40:48.914-05:002010-03-22T13:40:48.914-05:00Why couldn't the XO have put the truck on the ...Why couldn't the XO have put the truck on the ship and taken it with?PhysioProfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11046093902090839375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585442725225382080.post-32553014148399792422010-03-22T07:35:45.596-05:002010-03-22T07:35:45.596-05:00Speaking of creative 'supply runs', I was ...Speaking of creative 'supply runs', I was an enineer on the fueling deck of an oiler. Our sister ship was going into refit and unloaded her hydraulic fueling deck gear on the jetty beside us. Seeing as we were perpetually plagued with mechanical breakdowns and was saddled with a glacial supply system I did a midnight shopping trip on those babies. This is when Karme rears its vindictive head. One year later I was posted to the same ship I just robbed. The upside of it my Chief thought I was an engineering god when I could find the problems so quicly:)Allan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757239604220478557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585442725225382080.post-1826744304973028642010-03-17T19:01:41.709-05:002010-03-17T19:01:41.709-05:00wondered how things like that worked.
