There's always a way around these nasty thingys like humping the boonies...

...unless you're an F.O.

Then it REALLY sucks.)

As an MP it was pretty sweet riding everywhere as well. One day, we got sent to a land nav refresher course. When the instructor asked what method we would use to navigate from A to B under X situation, a few of us replied "IFR". Being an Infantry inst, he looked at us puzzled, "IFR? Your not flying there, what are you talking about?" He got a good laugh when we said, "Yeah, IFR, I Follow Roads". MP just doesn't stand for Military Police...many times we pointed to our brassard and expressed "Motor Patrol".
