I am a fudd and will leave that unedited for humiliation. I meant M2, the trigger block at the back that you can remove or whatnot. I may have armorer duties but dear lord I am not an armorer. But yeah anything that really should be accounted for and SI, I am just going to inform 1SG/Supply of and figure out where to go from there.




If it was a grease gun, there would have been a tragic boating accident.


Also let me add to my list of retardation and realize that after discussing with a buddy that it isn't actually real lowers. Its just the handgrip/trigger/selector for them which explains no serial and W------ and I guess they are used for training aid?

As someone who was in your exact position once (11B who had to run the commo shop for a while while a dude was going to school with no prior understanding of how shops operated) you need to absolutely become best buds with your XO because he'll be the one that can sort poo poo like this out.

Take pictures of the container if you haven't already boxed everything up, gather all the evidence you can to show you just found this poo poo, because you need to tell someone important asap. At least all YOUR SI is accounted for, but the rest of that poo poo (mostly the crypto stuff) really needs to be not in your possession anymore because if someone important finds that out, and they find out you knew about it and didn't tell anyone, your rear end is gonna burn hard just because you're the lowest mook in the chain who has any connection with it. Hopefully they are smart enough to blame the previous dude and not the guy that just got the shaft.

I hope you are being like 100% literally honest when you say it is just a grip and trigger assembly. Are you sure it isn't the entire bottom half of a rifle, to include the magwell? Is the buttstock attached? If it is, you need to be shouting that poo poo from the rooftops because it's your best course of action.

Think of it this way: IT IS YOUR SHOP NOW. You are in charge of it. Do you really want that poo poo to be floating around YOUR SHOP, even if it isn't technically on the books, or would you rather know 100% what you control and where it all is? The thought of having crypto stuff just floating around unaccounted for is very... uh :stare:

Thanks for the advice. Yeah I instantly went to talk to 1SG and Commander about it this morning, and completely video documented me opening the rest of the boxes/tac boxes once I realized I was dealing with horror. What I thought was lowers is just some trigger training aid that is the trigger, handle, and fire/safe selector for shadow boxing and such and is completely inert and not even SI thankfully (insert pogue joke about why analysts under no circumstances should even hold rubber duckies much less touch rifles.) The crytpo we are just going to give to S6 to either identify or just do magic with. The rest is just going to go on my hand receipt and work on TPing it. Luckily I am not a turd and my command likes me, so they are going to make sure I don't have anything but a paperwork headache on my hands. The crpyto was their biggest concern as well, hopefully nothing comes of it.

Smith appeared to have pulled the power plug out of the caravan but left it connected on the powerbox side, Hikurangi Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy chief Trevor Gallagher said.

"The plug looked like it had been ripped out of the caravan itself."

He understood Smith had then taken out a Leatherman knife to cut off the plug so it couldn't be put back in.

"It was still live... The reality here is that the disconnection should have been at the powerbox, not the campervan," Gallagher said.

As a former AMMO troop, I thought this type of poo poo was the norm. The only difference was the unofficial rule of, if one of our guys turns inspector, they were supposed to give us 30 days to rehide the stuff they knew about. At the last shop I was at, a guy turned inspector, came out, and made a beeline for the hidden stuff. Then everyone else in the shop was crying about "30 days".

About 12.30am yesterday, Smith left his campsite, telling friends he was going to deal with the issue.

Basnett was hanging out in front of the caravan with two friends when they noticed the lights go out about 12.30am, he said.

Because they had a battery-powered lamp and speakers, they were not overly concerned, Basnett said.

Legit question, does the Army not maintain accountability for them in their EKMS account? Because loosing any piece of serialized crypto gear is a Big DealTM in the Navy.

A bit old, but as a follow up, mailing the poo poo has a fun set of rules too. There was a 2nd shop when we were deployed that kept sending my CYZ-10s with supervisory CIKs in them. Ignoring the fact that they weren't supposed to have supervisory CIKs, mailing them with the gear is a huge gently caress no, and they were informed of this repeatedly. We kept it all logged, obviously. The gear wouldn't always come with CIKs, which was fine, until the guy tried to blame us for it when the gear didn't go back to it's owning unit with everything.

We forwarded all of the maint. forms, EKMS tranfer sheets, and specific sections of EKMS-1A to their Shop Chief, as well as the email traffic between myself and him. It was hosed up, but we had our asses covered is what I'm getting at. The other guy in question was quietly removed without ceremony and his replacement sent his introductory "hi I'm so and so" email the same day. New guy was on the ball though, so silver lining there.

EKMS is serious poo poo, always do the right thing and cover your rear end as well. Not reporting will gently caress you harder than the green weenie ever did.

Platoon sergeants just before lunch: Hey squad leaders, when your guys get back I need all this poo poo inventoried.

Squad leaders after lunch: hey team leaders I need all this poo poo inventoried.

Team leaders at 4pm: just finished these monthly counselings, hey everyone I need this poo poo inventoried.

I once had the dumbest supply guy in the Army. My first time meeting him we were signing for stuff from LBE. They hand him a poo poo load of hand receipts for tool kits and there are a bunch of empty tool boxes. He immediately and without question starts signing for these complete tool kits. I tried to bring up the fact that the tool kit is more than just a box and he should make sure he has all of tools or it will gently caress him later. His response to me is "I am supply and I know my job so be quiet SGT." Okay roger that. Four months later IG did an inspection of the supply records and he ended up having to do a 4 million dollar FLIPPL. The command was less than pleased.

From what I can tell he left to go get his commission a year or two before I joined so I'm not real clear on the details. I had never heard of him before yesterday when we were discussing some other sexual harassment incident that had come to light. I'd guess he was either somebodies buddy/relative, or they didn't want to make too much of a fuss over it. There are plenty of people you're left to wonder why they're still around despite be such fuckups.
