    AF losing stuff

    So a can of MK19 40 MM HE rounds falls off a HUMVEE, no big deal what would you do with them if you found them but the Air Force Global Strike Command directed an immediate inventory search of weapons in the 5th Bomb Wing and 91st Missile Wing and now a M-240 is missing.

    Holy shit;

    No. Body. Panic... Bob Lost the M-240...

    This is crazy, it landed on the Rez, the case of 40mm did; I am sure those are LONG gone and in someone's possession by now.

    The M-240 though, that's inside. And I am smelling dirty play where someone really might get away with stockpiling the SOB in a hole somewhere.

    I'm not sure how they handle this now, but...
    lock everyone down and no one goes to an appointment, birth of a child, home to change clothes or get a shower and just start tearing the place apart.
    The more painful it becomes for everyone involved, the quicker it will appear.
    It didn't waalk out of the arms room on it's own and everyone has a first and second line Supervisor they all have to pay.

    When I was active at another ICBM base, Minot was always the one we rolled our eyes at because mistakes just always seemed to happen there. The culmination was a series of emails from a commander years back talking about "rot" in the crew force.

    People will absolutely get fired over this series of mistakes, and rightly so. Someone will do a manning study and show that there aren't enough people available to meet the demand, and people are too tired/too junior/too unsupervised, and some staff weenie will make a powerpoint presentation saying how they will fix it. And then it will get covered up without really fixing it.

    The junior enlisted to NCO ratio at those bases is ridiculously bad.

    These good men are some of the reasons why I feel like M4C is a home-away-from home. Like... A Home-away-from-home in the sketchy part of town where a biker club is. Attracts all the riff-raff, but the core guys sure kick some interwebz ass.

    These comments made my day.
