Get ‘em Fixed
Published Jul 18, 2003
During an arctic training exercise in Alaska intense cold played havoc with vehicles and equipment.
One harassed battery commander was trying to cope with vehicles that wouldn't run and machinery that wouldn't work. He was wondering what else could go wrong when the door flew open and a soldier rushed in and announced, "Hey, captain, the northern lights are out!
Exasperated and without looking, the captain barked, "Well, don't tell me! Go get the generator mechanic and have him fix the darn things!"
