1984, Mannheim FRG Local Training Area. LTC Daniel Zanini (now LTG ret.) pulls up in his M151 and instructs his driver, “Do not move this vehicle unless I tell you.” He had trouble earlier finding his jeep + driver. Dan gets on his M60A3, dons his CVC helmet and tells his tank driver to “Back up.” He turns around to guide his tank backwards and unplugs his CVC cord. The driver kicks it to the floor and Dan instructs him to turn left, turn LEFT, TURN LEFT!! His jeep driver un-asses the truck just in time to keep from getting crushed by the tank as it crunches all that sheet metal. Someone finally helps Dan get the tank driver stopped. Fuming, he jumps off the panzer and struts up to the shaken up driver. “Why didnt you move the truck?” “Sir, you told me not to unless you specifically ordered me to. All I could hear was DRIVER STOP!”
