SGT Bryon Sergent 74343 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>&lt;p&gt;I once had a board question for soldier of the year and it went as a two part question. What is in the truk? and what is at the base of the truk pole on main post HQ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I read in the study guide, have forgotten some items, that there was a razor, match, bullet, ........, ........... .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Depending on the age of the post I heard that there is a 38, 1911, or an M-9.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have never knocked one over to see, so what is the general consensus as a discussion piece.&lt;/p&gt; 2014-03-12T11:08:20-04:00 SGT Bryon Sergent 74343

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><p>So, based on my recollection, the truk is the ball at the top of the flagpole, that holds the rounds for the handgun (think something like 3 rounds?).  There is normally a memorial at the base of the flagpole that would actually be a box that contains the razor, match (to cut the star field off the flag prior to being burned), the handgun to protect and make a last stand.  Not sure if there was anything else... I strongly doubt that many (if any) bases actually do this....but fun trivia question anyway!</p><br /><p> </p>
