There was a story that circulated around CRB in the late 60's about a Spare crew that had aquired a jeep from some army outpost. They had private transport until they needed gas and when they needed gas they had no POL card. The jeep was confiscated by the motor pool.
Bob, make that an "Igloo" crew and you have a true story. We picked up a load w/jeep, but as usual, no manifest (We'll send it on the next outbound"). Air freight refused it when we landed at Danang, so we kept it for the rest of the shuttle. Passed it along to a replacement crew,then got it back when we inputted a week later. Carried it on the ramp a month or so until we got word some Army brass was upset over his lost jeep. It was "found" at Bu Dop or An Khe, can't remember for sure.
