Yep, when I went up to Great Mistakes, and was one of the very few with a car, I was The Man! We OSVETS (Other Service Veterans) were the bane of the Chiefs on Recruit Side. Hehehe. They couldn't touch us!
The Rickies had to run to/from chow - we'd stroll. Chief barks, Recruits! Why aren't you running!? Oh, Osvets - sorry guys."

They tried to send me there on a friggin airline - I told them at AFES - "If I don't drive, I don't go! Give me POV orders!" I hadn't signed the dotted line yet!

Later, when offered a school in California, I did the same thing - told them, "Screw flying, I'm driving!" Ah, the good ol days - I made out like a flaming bandit on travel pay!

I was popular in C-school at Mare Island, California too. A hot Firebird, and big open highways! I loved it.

Note to the Newbies going into service - the rules can ALWAYS be massaged! I bent and warped plenty of them.

In the bundu, the most popular was definately the driver of the supply truck. He was also the most hated man on the planet if there was no beer on board
