You got lager on guard duty?
Cool!
Sorry, can’t help myself sometimes.
I think lived across the parade field from you, Scouts, CSC, 3/33 Armor.
The class VI store and the Rod & Gun Club were right behind our barracks, I was there a little later though, ‘80-’82.
Parade ground was still off limits after dark though and an SDO doing a walk through got very, very angry one night when “Doc” Savage, one of our mechanics whipped out a tape measure to “measure the LT for his wall locker”.
We didn’t have any Grease guns in Scouts but the guys on the cherry picker in HQ plt did and we got to fire them for familiarization like we did Soviet small arms, in case we ever picked one up.
We did a lot of crawling around on/in Soviet vehicles in Vilseck for familiarization too; ammo, fuel storage positions, kill anybody with more than one antennae, etc.
The “lager” was the night time gathering in of the company, not beer. Lager was an old German/British term. Actually I was in 2-27FA as a recon Sgt for B/1/32. The 2LT who got his M-16 bent was the FO team chief for my battery. We were short 2LT FOs, so, as the senior recon Sgt, I was sent to B Company as its primary FO. Thus I was in the first group of 13F FIST team MOS folks.
