"Stores" trucks....so what did they store?

[maple_leaf_eh]

A common term in Canada is now to call them "cages". With tbe tarp down, it looks innocent. Add a lock to the doors and the Company Quartermaster (CQ) can be reasonably assured no one will break into his truck and make up their own inventory shortfalls at his expense. Or, give the same truck to the Sergeant Major, and he can be happy-er (as if that is possible at that elevated degree of crustiness), that his off-the-books canteen with the obligatory beef jerky, shaken canned drinks and Wine Dipped Old Port cigars won't get swiped.
