Many things still stick with me from my service time. One of them is guarding a metal box full of simulated classified documents, at night, outside at -30 below zero during a SAC ORI.To Error Is Human To Forgive Is Not SAC PolicyComment

Man, the Army was great for simulating all kinds of things. I remember during a Tac-Eval, I was assigned a position in one of the sandbag bunkers on the Nike Herc site. I was a 60 gunner. I was given a laminated card stating my basic load of stuff like M60 ammo, M16 ammo, fragmentation grenades, M203 rounds, decon kits, nerve agent antedote, bayonet, etc., and was told to keep it in my pocket and show it to the inspector if he requested it. We sat in our bunker all day and was never approached by anyone. Thank God, our c-rats weren't simulated! MikeComment
