They rolled another one trying to reach the 1st one. So the Wing Commander was pretty ****ed.
Fast forward a week. Brand new nice shiny vehicle gets turned in to Base Vehicle Maintenance. In the form was written the words "Shimmies at 90 MpH".
Nothing else, it was turned in for that.
Now you are not allowed to go over 15 anywhere on a flight line. Even emergency vehicles are limited to a certain extent due to taxiing aircraft. Well, the word got to the Wing King that this vehicle had been turned in and he lost his friggin' mind.
Investigation ensued and they found out these guys were taking the vehicles out to a back taxiway and drag racing them. Tower videos gave them up.
They all ended up being posted to their stations via bus for 3 months. He took away the new Vics and gave them back their old POS Impalas. The General was LIVID.
Anyway, the rest of us had our turn to finally poke fun at the guys who made our lives miserable for once.

That's funny, I don't feel sorry for them, I have had my run ins with that career field. I use to carry comm gear in and out of facilities and they would harass me because they were not allowed to inspect my goods, many times I had to make the phone call and all of a sudden they became very helpful.
One time I got a speeding ticket at Offutt AFB for 2MPH over.
One time while deployed I was downtown intermingling with the locals and consuming local beverages and came back a couple of minutes before curfew and they tried to arrest me, I was still hungover in the morning and said a few things to the base CO I probably shouldn't have said, could be the reason I didn't get my deployment citation.
The SF's are like LEO's, some are cool but many are very uncool.
