'OLD BETSY'
'With all the education, awards, and military experiences I have had, themost cheerful memorable experiences involved the operation of a 10,000lb. capacity, rough terrain forklift, who I fondly named 'Old Betsy'.Under the 632 CS Co Maint NonDiv DS Fort Stewart, Georgia duringHurricane Hugo in the autumn of 1990 and during the Gulf War of 1991, Ispent thousands of long consecutive hours loading hundreds of trucks with'Old Betsy.' For a moral boost during the Gulf War, the U.S. Army commandauthorized painting of names with logos on the side doors of militaryvehicles. The Battalion and Company Officers woke up one morning to finda big red heart, with a black arrow piercing it, painted on the 10,000pound capacity forklift with the name 'Old Betsy' painted under theheart. All vehicle logos were supposed to be painted in black and requireapproval before painted on. It was controversial at first, but thecommand decided to let it slip by.
