My ETS award had as part of the bullet points "wrote an in-depth folder of PIR and constructed a special 'Death Korps of Krieg' HVT uniform for use in missions against Ranger students, which resulted in improved training for them."

It was a "spirit mission" type thing. An old-school heritage item vanished and nobody noticed for months, because it had been stashed out of sight. Word got out that it was located at a base a few hours away, so two of us went to recover it. We knew what building and room it was in. The building was unlocked, the room was not. We found enough furniture in the hallways to get above the drop ceiling and get into the room. We then spent a good portion of the day with an angle grinder to actually remove the object. At some point, we heard someone in the building, so I went out to see who it was...I found some young dude who was probably an E-2 or E-3 in one of the back offices, and promptly questioned his motives for being in the building on a Saturday and whether he was really supposed to be there. He stammered and left. After recovering it and putting their ghetto display stand on top of their smoke pit in front of the commander's parking spot, we went to our contact/source of info's house...he was an O-5 stationed there. And when we got there, he was on the back patio drinking with the security forces squadron commander and the OSI detachment commander. We left out some of the details to avoid needing the "hopefully get out of jail free" card from one of our O-6s, and the fuzz got a kick out of the story. I'm not sure if that's my favorite part, or when I chased that guy out of his own office.

We got coined and got some patches from a group of 1970s era old-timers.

That's a pretty great story lol, especially chewing out the dude in his own office. Thanks for sharing.
