There is that...
But I doubt that that was really the question.
Our 'solution' may've been along the lines of a 'Field Expedient' - but it held one hell of a lot of cigarette butts and ashes, and didn't tip over - and that's what was important.
As an aside - the owner of the thing apparently 'saw the Light' and got accepted to USMA Prep - straight out of Infantry AIT.
Whether he ever did anything beyond that - I don't know - since I was on my way to Jump School and a couple of others before shipping overseas.
Vaya,
Scouts Out!
