In 1965 at Fort Devens Mass, going someplace I should not have been, I got the platoon Jeep stuck out in the nighttime boonies.
I went back to the motor pool and got a 3/4 ton 4x4 and got it stuck trying to rescue the Jeep.
I went back and got a 6x6 deuce and a half, but couldn't get it started so I woke up my driver and we extracted the first two.
I had always thought it was insulting not to let officers drive.
