Topic: Dilligaf Road

Charge 7 · March 14th, 2005

I'm not going to name names, though I do know the individuals involved. Several years ago they needed to make a new road coming in from the south gate at the military reservation here in Vermont. They had worked on it for quite awhile and when it was done the Lieutenant in charge instead of naming the road himself or asking someone higher to do so, offered the chance to name it to the men. So the men suggested "Dilligaf Road". The Lieutenant not knowing any better asked why the name? The men said that "Dilligaf" was a buddy dear to their hearts and a good representative of all the men. So the road was indeed named "Dilligaf Road". The post commander either didn't pay attention, didn't know or didn't care what the name meant so the name became official. More years go by and a visiting regular Army four star General who _had_ been enlisted knew very well what "Dilligaf" means and didn't like it one bit! Ordered the post commander to change the name immediately. However, when it was pointed out how very costly it would be to have all the maps remade and recirculated the General let it drop. So to this day the road leading in from Bolton, Vermont to the Ethan Allen Firing Center is named "Dilligaf Road". For those of you who don't know what "dilligaf" means it stands for "Does It Look Like I Give A F***?"
