"if a section needs something in a hurry they have to use their own private vehicles to go and get it."


Been there, done that.

On midshift and needed a new sensor package for a DRS turret (A-6E) to go in a plane that was to fly after dawn... and supply had no truck available.

As the shop was nearly a mile from supply, I couldn't very well wheel a maintenance cart down, load a 150lb piece of classified electro-optical avionics in and wheel it back, so... my Jeep Cherokee became a USMC vehicle for a few minutes.

When the higher-ups got in for day-shift, they said "good job, NEVER do it again!".
