Be careful out there!

When I was in the Navy, NAS Miramar, I had a part time job at the auto hobby shop. One day I was out in the lot, and here was a guy laying under a 57 Chev working on it. Now, bear in mind that when you checked in you got a shower curtain ring with a number of (10?) "chits" or tags. If you wanted an item from the toolroom, you traded a "chit" with your stall number on. You could easily get a jack or jack stands, other tools

BUT THIS GUY had the 57 jacked up with a pair of bumper jacks, each jammed up against the big "tits" on the bumper

I just reached down and grabbed his ankles and skidded him out of there

This was a civilian job, so I was out of uniform. He had no idea I was an E-5 and he was an E3. He wanted to fight.

I told him he had two choices---leave, or go up to the tool room and get some jackstands. And if he wanted trouble, I could fix it so he could not come back.

Last I saw of him, he was headed for the toolroom
