While assigned to HQ Sixth Army at the Presidio of San Francisco, I was
responsible for the reassignment of our officers and I had to request their
orders. Well we had one officer that was being reassigned to the U.S. Army
Aviation Center and School, Ft Rucker, AL and I requested his orders.
Later that day the officer came in and called my attention to his orders
which read "Ft ****er, AL". Oh ****. I ran back to the orders section and
told them the orders needed to be amended immediately and distribution
halted on the old copies. Well, distribution had already been made, and an
amendment was out of the question. Why? Because an amendment would have
directly called attention to the mistake. Instead they revoked the orders
and re-cut them. I think that was the best laugh we had there in my three
years there. A damn good assignment too.
They called it "Camp ****ed Up" when I was there in '54-'55. Hq Co was
the most ****ed up of all.
