Post; Request Log Quote..Thanks


I saw a quote on a military poster several years (about 18 years) ago that I never really thought about until I switched to the supply field. It went something like this: "I don't know what this thing called logistics is, but I want some" and I believe it was a WWII General, but not sure. Any insight? I already did a search and checked the ones you had..no luck. Thanks

Thanks so much Jarhead for finding it..I really thought it was McArthur or Patton, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

And thanks Redleg for the welcome!!!

Thanks again. Really too bad that most Commands view S-4 as low section on the totem pole....while we are key to everything...
