[19th LA Inf]

One of the funniest memories of my Korean War era service is the day we had a security drill for the college grad "troops" at old Camp Detrick (top-secret installation in those days). A little corporal known as "Tex" took a small squad to a normally vacant guard tower. They were met by a bantam-sized captain coming from his O-club briefing.

"All right, men, I'll be in command here" said the captain. Tex replied "Show yer cerdentials!"

"My bars are my credentials!"

"OK boys, take his .45!" Tex ordered, and they did. The captain was furious and tried to file charges on Tex. He was reminded that he couldn't charge a corporal for executing orders.

And I had a friend that got an ARCOM for putting a general in the front leaning rest position!
