Later, Gator

Gator Navy

Here's His Honor, Jim, toodling around in his work vehicle, a John Deere Gator. These are six-wheeled vehicles that are basically a cross between a quad-runner and a pickup truck. They are designed for light farmwork or industrial applications.
There are a limited number of SUVs to go around the command, so Jim (and several other officers) ended up with a Gator instead. There are hundreds of these little gators running around here. You can't take them off the post, of course, but that doesn't stop Jim from slapping on his "VIP" hardhat, putting in earplugs, and zipping all over post in his Gator. Dave and I want to submit Jim's gator to MTV's Pimp My Ride show so that he can have a stylin' vehicle befitting his stature in the community.
