In Turkey ('77) I was in the hut with the paymaster and two other grunts when in came a butterbar (2nd lewie). Apparently he didn't like standing in line and promptly told the two legs that he needed to cut line to get his casual pay. He said some rather rude things.

So as I was leaving the hut the paymaster looks at his clerk and says, "I believe this butterball's pay records should follow him where he goes." The clerk looked at him (knowing the Lewie was PCS at our detachment) and said, "where might that be?'

The paymaster said, "Eygpt".

The 2nd Lewie was on casual pay ($50) for 5 months.
