I was at a Repo Depot in Frankfurt, Germany waiting for transportation to my unit. I had to stay over the weekend so I was stuck. Anyways, somebody stated that the chow hall was serving steak and lobster for Sunday Brunch. Great that means a VIP is in the locale. I was getting my drinks when the boys in Gargoyle glasses showed up. Behind them was the Army Chief of Staff. Behind him was a bunch of smoozers and in the middle was Tipper Gore.

I walked to the table I had set my tray on, put the drinks on the tray, picked it up and walked everything over to the skullery and turned it in. I left the building.

Next morning as I was leaving my quarters a unit runner came up and asked if I was SFC such and such? I affirmed and he told me the Repo Depot 1SG wanted to see me ASAP. I reported to him and he proceeded to dress me down for snubbing the ACS and VP's spouse. I kept my tongue and temper in check and let the 1SG perform his duties. That was all I received was the verbal chewing out.

A couple of hours later after PT the 1SG caught me at the chow hall having coffee. He came over and sat with me. He inquired why I had walked out the previous morning. I stated to him this " I may have to take orders from her husband one day as the Commander and Chief and I will follow my orders. But that does not mean I have to eat with them."

Never heard anything else about it.
