George Wallace said:Someone really doesn't know what they are talking about. No one earns these items by "doing their time". That means they are stolen Government issued items, not returned on Release. If these items were Written off, then someone lied on a "Loss Damage Report". Still a crime. Fraud.
And, that is exactly it. He would have had to turn them in to clear (they're CTAT/ITAR items) --- that's NOT what's occured.
What occured is he either reported his lost or stolen (ie he lied as you said) and had them re-issued with a write-off occuring for the original items from his charge. Absolutely 100% fraudulent actions on Government paperwork and theft.
MOST likely though - he stole these items from one of his "buddies", perhaps even a coursemate; and SCREWED them out of their kit - making them submit MLRs when their items "somehow, mysteriously, got lost). Ni-iice. Absolutely 100% fraudulent actions on Government paperwork AND theft.
Yep, he earned his damned kit all right ... and every cent of it that gets written-off due to his "earning" it ... somes out of the budget that you ladies and gents are supported with. It may only be a 20 dollar widget, but take that 20 dollars and multiply it by the sheer volume of thiefs who abscond with YOUR stuff to make themselves a dime ... and it all adds up to quite a few hundred chest rigs.
Let me say it again, and be clear: I HATE THIEVES. There's no place for them in this outfit - let 'em rot in jail.
