What about the three foot cockroach the OOD had to shoot at the Geiger chow hall.
I went through Geiger ITR in Jan-Feb 1967 and was just stunned at the number of cockroaches in the mess hall.
At times it seemed like an entire wall was alive. Still makes me cringe.

It’s a joke. Like sending the new guy to get some flight line or to the gunny to get a prick E7. You should have realized it as there is no OOD brave enough to take on a 3 foot cockroach with a 1911. HQ had a fairly constant stream of young Marines dropping in to see the cockroach.
