Madness…
28 March 2012
The Mechanicsburg project which is about to run out of cash due to unforeseen ground conditions opened my eyes again today. I asked whether or not it might be possible to get the contractor to agree to allow the Corps of Engineers to resolve the issue. The logic being – there is no budget here to allow contractor to to remove the rock, therefore project will come to a halt and become a big white elephant and contractor will not get the work / money he wanted. I suggested trying to get a ‘training exercise’ for the green skins to do it from one of their training budgets and get their kit dirty for a change, thus allowing the existing money to complete the job and thus the contractor gets a bigger lump of cash and we don’t end up with a big white elephant……..you’d think I just crapped in their swimming pool by the response I got. Enough said. It’s just as barking mad as it is in the UK.

Matt, in order to test your theory you must now crap in their swimming pool. This will provide you conclusive proof and possibly the foundations of a TMR!!!!!

Why not get their Air Force involved!
Joining these comments; the RAF free-standing family-sized pool that was brought into KAF by C17 in Nov 05 for their exclusive use and at the expense of some pretty urgently required engineer resources (that were left at purple gate) had a floater in it within 2 days and subsequently closed. We laughed…
