So there I was, way back when, at the Presidio of Monterey, California. We built a small obstacle course near the top of the hill. Shortly after it was completed, we received news that a common (to the area) flower was going to be added to the federally protected list the next fiscal year.
The area around our shiny new obstacle course was loaded with these flowers. Come October, nobody would be allowed to step foot anywhere near the place. The EPA was trying to take our fun away!
So, after spending a productive day with a bucket and shovel, there weren’t any of those flowers anywhere near the obstacle course any more. Problem solved.
NCOs boldly go where officers fear to tread. We take care of business - just don't ask us how.
What a great work around and everybody's happy.

ReplyDeleteRoger that! Then plant those "protected" flowers above the graves you don't want dug up.
