Whoops!
Can't wait to hear that they are missing something much much more distructive. |

On an unrelated subject, who has the best price on some belted 7.62?
|
|
I bet some high paid person is shiting a brick house right about now.

At they sure it's lost and not some bad ATF style bookkeeping?
|
|
Man. I would love to have found them. Somebody is in deep shit though.

Why the fuck wasn't I driving down the road in BFE and see that on the road?

I know the ATF put tracking devices in the grips of AKs and the the Soec Ops guys sometimes have weapons tracked. Wonder if the 240 can be tracked or the 40 cal anmo can has a gps sticker on it.

Earlier this month, a container of grenades fell off a Humvee on a Native American reservation. View Quote My name is Sioux how do you do |

Ouch.
Weapon accounts will get people fired. That equipment custodian is fucked no matter if they find the weapon or not. People from GS are desending on that base as we speak or all ready there to tear apart the weapon/equipment program. No Equipment account will be safe. Hope they got thier shit in one sock. |

I think some of our local "heroes" were trying to resupply the new owner of the m-240. You can't make this shit up.
"EL PASO, Texas - Military Police are investigating why and how a military helicopter dropped a box of ammunition over Parkland Elementary School. A spokesman with the Ysleta Independent School District said it happened at about 3:45 p.m. Thursday. The incident happened after the school day was over and no students or staff were in danger, the spokesman said. Fort Bliss officials said the incident damaged the roof and a classroom. "I'm extremely sorry for any damage done to the neighboring elementary school, and I am grateful that no one was injured,” Col. Jay Hopkins, commander of the 1st Armored Division Combat Aviation Brigade said in a news release. “The incident is under investigation.” Fort Bliss said it will reassess current flight patterns to ensure that incidents similar to this will not happen again. The box made a hole in the roof and caused a power outage to a portion of the building, the spokesman said." http://www.kvia.com/news/military/military-helicopter-drops-ammunition-box-on-parkland-elementary-roof/743010719 |

I’ll be impressed when they lose a C-130.
I lose 40mm grenades all the time. I mean, who hasn’t lost a machine gun or two. This isn’t a problem. |

I bet some high paid person is shiting a brick house right about now. Everyone stood in formation while we dumped gear and searched for a fucking compass one of the lieutenants lost. We finally were released at around 2300 - No idea if they actually found that thing. Many jokes were being made about the general proficiency of officers and land navigation, along with wondering if the same procedure would be used if a corporal had lost a compass. |

Someone had lost a pair of PVS-7s so as the C-17s departed our squadron loaded up in cattle cars to go play "hands across the desert" at every location we set up at. The goggles were found but the Squad Leader, PSG, PL and Troop Commander all got a nice note from the SCO put into their files. |

Hopefully dosent show up in a unexpected mass casualty event that the FBI knew about, but failed to "act" in time.
Sarcasm: shooter was interviewed by FBI top men 87 times.. there's no evidence of MkUltra being used.. pick up that can.. |
