[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3747726, member: 7900"] Small Army base north of San Francisco back in the '60's. Our work was highly classified, so they had a separate building outside of the operations building for a coffee room. That was largely so that "vendors" could come in to restock coke machines or whatever. A sergeant comes into our small operations area and informs me that I am CRO for the day. I ask what "CRO" is and am informed that it is "coffee room orderly." I explained that I didn't drink coffee, therefore I had no idea of how to make coffee. He told me it was simple and proceeded to give me instructions for making coffee, which I wrote down. After the first urn was emptied, I got up and made a new urn, all according to the instructions written down. After some cleaning up, I sat down and started reading magazines that were in the coffee room. About an hour later, I look up to see the watch NCO walking back into the operations building with a thermos in his hand. About 20 minutes later, the sergeant that assigned me the job returns and tells me that I am relieved of CRO duties. Apparently the coffee was so bad that the watch NCO called his wife to make him some coffee and bring it to the compound. I never got CRO again. [/QUOTE]
