When I was in the MDNG one time I had to run down to Richmond, they gave me a Govt. Credit card that was 1$ less than a million to use just in case I needed it.

I wasn’t tempted at all, just saying...

I had one for about 20 years (after the DoD cut ties with Diners Club) while TDY in Barranquilla, Colombia and had to spend about ten bucks to call Visa and get them to increase my cash advance limit. The Colombian NCO club at Barranquilla Naval Station, where we were billeted, only took cash. I called to explain and it took me several tries to get the lady to understand that I was in COLOMBIA, South America, not Columbia, South Carolina. Oy...

20 years ago, we had a soldier buy some electronics at the PX with his GovCC. When caught, he got the treatment then kicked out of the Army. But not before the First Sergeant made him stand in the common area all day long with a large cardboard sign hanging from neck that said "I am a thief, I used my GCC to buy a stereo." The sign had been hand-drawn to look like an AMEX card too.

Justice in the infantry battalions was always up a notch and creative.
