From 72-74 at Ft Hood we used PUP tents when we went to the field. My OIC, 1LT Keen, told me to pitch his tent 'right there'. When I tried to tell him that it wasn't a good spot, he yelled at me to just do as I was told.
As a good E4 at the time, I pitched his tent exactly where he wanted it.
Later on that night he came screaming out of his tent.
Seems that his tent was pitched right over a red ant nest.
