I think it was at Miramar where we did Eric's BL. The look on the hobby shop tool shack guy's face was classic when we wanted just a jack and no jackstands. He couldn't wrap his head around it. "No, we're just lifting the body; the tires are staying on the ground."
Priceless.
oh i bet those guys there can be pretty funny with things like that.
(not trying to jack a thread here but...)
Yeah the one at Lejeune used to be pretty bad about jackstands. No matter what you were doing your vic had to be on 4 stands. I changed my oil there once and had to do it.

Took me just as long to get it on stands as it did to change the oil.
Yea but east coast bases are kinda werid on how they do things.
