It looks like a US Marine bought a fire truck. And yes, that's totally allowed

Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for posting the article from Task and Purpose which I also receive via email.
Privately owned [non-combat] vehicles are legal on most installations and towns I believe.
"I asked our base fire chief to have a look at the video and he confirms this fire truck is not a Camp Lejeune asset, and he is very confident that it is not an asset of our local community fire and emergency services partners, based on the year model," Nat Fahy, a Marine spokesman for Camp Lejeune, told Task & Purpose.
"If it’s a privately owned, registered and insured vehicle, and the Marine holds the appropriate state driver’s license to operate it, there would be no restrictions prohibiting a Marine from driving it on base," he said. "The video does appear to be taken at Camp Lejeune based on the style of barracks buildings in the background."
And the best part is: This isn't even the first time this has happened, as the page administrators U.S. Army WTF! Moments, a popular military social media community, reminded folks on Thursday:
Lots of F*ck in this videoi.

I was stationed at Ft Riley and got a call from a navy civilian. He said someone at Ft Riley ordered a several ton anchor and it is not refundable after delivery. I envisioned a huge anchor welcoming drivers at the front gate thought it would be hugely inappropriate so I canceled the order.

Had to be someone pulling a BIG prank. Just thinking about how it would look in the middle of the country... at an Army base. LOL
