And if you want to go there, it is easiest to just drive a car, or as we call it, a "GMR". GMR stands for Ground Movement Request and it means the formal requesting of a regular car for ordinary transport. So this would be a civilian, commercial vehicle instead of, say, a HUMVEE.
The majority of these cars available for us are minivans or minivan-style crossovers. Minivans are handy and have decent carrying capacity, but most importantly, troops aren't likely to try hot-dogging or off-roading in a minivan.
They are the gold standard of lame.
And of course, as we all know, helicopter pilots always play "Fortunate Son" when they fly; either that or "Ride of the Valkyries". I think it is actually in their contracts.
So Captain Jackie "Pepperjack" Tracz has her mood spoiled when she is forced to set aside her Blackhawk for a distinctly uncool option for her trip to Film City.
Until next time!

I love the weird no-context names some military communities pick up. I feel like most of them were in-jokes that made sense to like 50 people once 10 years ago.
