12. I forgot how we turned them on in then

I was licensed but I rarely ever drove one so I'm probably misremembering because one key definitely works on all the M915A2s but I haven't driven much of anything else but the M915A2 I've driven close to 20,000 miles.

We always locked the uparmored door with pad locks because one key could open the door and start the engine. Can't remember the reason but remember we were unable so me and my co-driver took a chance and just locked with the key while went inside the DFAC in Taji. When we came out the truck was gone in the parking lot and we were freaking out badly, finally we went back to the tents and reported this and the Sergeant was losing his mind. "How do you lose a (M915A2)? It isn't something that can fit in your pocket? The convoy commander (who was my squad leader at-the-time) noticed the missing lock so drove it away to teach us a lesson but I was so relieved.
