Well actually some people did, I broke my legg in 1975, long story involing a cow and a parachute, but I won't go there
I had to hang around and answer phones in the Air Force squadron offices while I healed. Did a little desk snooping too. Belive me EVERYBODY had this manila folders in the back of their desk drawers with CYA files. Not official, no letterheads, no other copies routed anywhere, usualy dated but not signed....just for personal use
Wasn't leagal, Air Force had a huge stink about it sometime in the 1980's, but everybody from first line supervisors up through commanders had them
