Sandia Base weapons school, 1962. Our competent 1st sgt went on leave, and my (NoCivilianOccupation) platoon sgt took over. A few mornings later I had laundry detail, then went to class. I was about the 1st back to the barracks and found a note on my bed to report to the orderly room. Sgt starts chewing me out for not being in the room cleaning that morning, I was to see the CO for 14 & 2 (2 hours extra duty for 14 days). Pointed out that he was one who assigned me to yhe laundry detail! Leaving his office the rest of the 3 work details were coming in with little slips of paper. I loadly announced that we were to have 14 & 2 for being on assigned work details. No, none of us saw the CO or got extra duty. Sgt was very careful with orders etc until the regular 1st sgt got back.
