Reply #9: Moved my platoon leader's office into the latrine

[jmowreader]

Chief Henning was 61 years old and his bladder didn't work quite right, so he spent most of his time in the latrine.

So one fine afternoon when he was out drilling his way into Lockout Thurlow's field safe (Lockout Thurlow was a second lieutenant who liked to change the combination on his safe then shut the door without testing the combination first. By the time Colonel McGuinness took pity on him and moved him to the 311th, he'd managed to lock himself out of five field safes, two office safes and the 1st Brigade arms room--which is WHY he was moved to the 311th MI, because the 1st Brigade commander was going to kill him. Lockout Thurlow was the first man in the history of the 101st Airborne to spend his entire hitch as a second lieutenant.) we moved his entire office to the latrine.
