So, since the military was brought up....
This one dude I know was on the "yard" working nights out in El Paso. One morning after work the CO needed people to participate in a 10k run. He got roped into that and it took forever for the event to get over and return to base. Then he got a few hours sleep and back on the yard. He ended up turning a new Jeep Cherokee patrol vehicle on its lid after he fell asleep at the wheel. It was NEW new and the nicest on they had. Since it was on its roof the radio did not work and the little hand radio did not have the nuts to reach back to the station. And he really had no clue where he was. Turned out he was way out on War Highway almost to McGregor Range (if you know the area).
So I heard it really sucked waiting for daylight and someone to drive by and get some help. Worse part of it all...... They jacked a months pay for the crash. 112 dollars for 7 months. That was a bunch of pizza and beer back then.
