Taxi service
Just a quick story since I don't feel like writing too much. This one is a GREAT one though...
So we were down in the Green Zone running some errands for an officer of ours, and were stopped outside a very important anonymous building waiting for the officer to come back out, and we noticed a Lt. Colonel walk by. We saluted, "Good afternoon, Sir," whatever.... etc... He sort of lingered in the area for a while and took a sip of some water from his water bottle and then finally came over to us and asked us, "Are you here to pick me up from my briefing?" We told him that we're not here for him, and so he walked away. A few minutes later he came back and asked us if we're from Camp Victory, so we told him that we're from Justice. He wandered back off again.
Some Marine came by and talked to us for a few minutes, and then the Colonel came back again asking where we're headed to next. We told him that we're headed back to Camp Justice. He asked if we needed to go to any meetings at Victory. We told him no, that we're done for the day after this mission. He left, then came back and asked if there were any other people from our Divison at Victory, we told him that, yes there were. He left again. Finally right as we were about to leave, he came up and directly asked us if he could get a ride to Camp Victory. We were just shocked. A random Colonel was hitch-hiking a ride to Victory from the Green Zone. It's unheard of. We had no CLUE who this guy was, but what the heck, we're on the same team, so we went ahead and dropped him off. It was hysterical. And it turns out that he was a really nice guy. Strange things happen here.
