The Battalion Motor Sergeant by way of a PA System would talk the drivers of all the vehicles parked in the Batallion Motor Pool through their daily drivers inspection. The vehicles of all types were neatly lined up in rows according to type with hoods and hatches open during this daily event held just after Reveile.
The fun part was when the Batallion Motor Sergeant would raise his right arm and signal the drivers at the drop of his arm to sound their horns. There was always one late "Beep".
Any vehicle that was not inspected by the driver was "Dead Lined", and a red rectangular sign with yellow printing was placed on the front. The vehicle would not be in service until a daily inspection was performed. Any vehicle that did not pass daily inspection was also deadlined.
Oh, for the good old days!
