dont know if theres enough space but here goes-we had a ships van bought with ships welfare and rec funds, that copper colored chevy well we used to use it to make comm runs . on one particular dull evening the duty rm showed me a shortcut through a field behind the base store . the path was well used and fairly bumpy and midway through it was a 90 degree turn .this was my first time and didnt know this trail . so the rm says you have to speed up here .well i kicked it up to @40 mph .lo and behold heres this 90 degree turn .just as i start the turn this rm lets out this rebel yell and opens up the door and hangs onto it .seems they used to do it all the time except i was going a bit faster than usual and off comes the door rm attached and goes skidding across this field. all i could think was holly shit my navy career will now consist of bagging groceries at leavenworth.once i finally stopped and picked up the surfrider all we could think of was to hang the door back on lock it and not touch it .then back at the boat we told the ood that the door was jammed and we couldnt use it and they would have to use the sliding cargo door.thank god i didnt sign any log for the van because acouple of days later someone forgot about the door and wile i was having a smoke on the bridge wing and happened to see some unsuspecting sailor grab a handfull of door.damn near peed my pants laughing ,then thought i better hide for awhile
