    Make Dave do it.

    In 1969 I was the the only Biomedical Equipment Repairman assigned at Shaw AFB, SC. Part of my job included visiting the sites we supported on a monthly basis. The government had discovered that their Emergency Disaster (the bomb) medical kits, stored in federal facilities all over the US, were being broken in to for the morphine syrettes. They were supposed to be removed by medical supply personnel with an armed officer to oversee and take possession. No officers or supply people wanted to go so they gave A1C Dave (me) a beat up .45 with no magazine and told me to have site personnel to remove them. And by the way, the morphine cannot leave your possession once you remove it. I had to arrange to remove them in the morning and drive straight through back to Shaw. I don't know what I was supposed to do with the .45. I had only qualified with the M-16 and they didn't know I had grown up shooting Dads WWII bring back.
