Given how inventory systems work in other jobs, even in other branches, I'm still disappointed that two digits off is the difference between light bulb type 1 and boat anchor and not light bulb type 1 amber, or red.

This is a very neat article about a family that was walking down the street and saw a man lying face down, bleeding. They did CPR for 9 minutes (!) until the fire department arrived, and ultimately saved his life. The dude they did the CPR on was the Commandant of the Marine Corps: https://wapo.st/3JWRYEv The Idiots Thread part of this, though, is that the Commandant not only had a bad heart valve, but apparently knew about it for years and still did extensive cardio without having anything done to repair it. Guess he was Built Different, but, not in a good way.

a bicuspid valve isn’t really a thing that you need surgery for if it’s not causing you any problems. This guy was just very unlucky that the first symptom he experienced was cardiac arrest

Xakura posted:They were 200 items off, who knows how many light bulbs there were in between Hold on, let me summon facie, he'd know but I bet between all the vehicle and equipment typed there's at leadt 200. Most of the supply fuckups I've dealt with were someone ordering the wrong ammo, i.e tracers on dry ranges during black flag weather, or the other companies ratfucking the ammo order and the fuckwit ammo clerk in Sante fe being fine with signing out the wrong poo poo. Something that is a court martial offense in the Marines. The NG really hated that there were standards for competency that aren't fellating the rank. I blame all the cops that are reservists.

I would assume that order codes include a check-digit, so if you mangle the number you only have a 10% chance of getting another real number?

I've been told that story half a dozen times. It's not always a lamp but it's always a boat anchor. It makes more sense when someone says the FSC was wrong by one digit because they determine the type of item. Changing any of the last 4 will almost always get you the same type of thing.

`Nemesis posted:i was under the impression the anchor thing was real... People screwing up and ordering absurdly wrong items does happen so the story has some level of truth but there's no anchor with an NSN that ends in 4772. It's not even that hard to search haystacks and verify that part is bullshit.

Yeah, the anchor thing was real. I lived in Colorado Springs at the time and I remember the local news covering it.

Meh I once sent a fuel barge to the wrong boat, gently caress ups happen. Had a guy gently caress up once, wanted to order 12 crates of det cord, ordered 12 pallets. Supplier wouldn't take it back because "We don't sell that much in a year", and I was like, my brother in Christ, why did you not confirm the order before making it?

My current command has enough picture frames to last for approximately the next hundred years due to a mix-up between "individual units" and "boxes". A buddy of mine has a good sea story about his LPO who made a typo on an order form and, instead of ordering several thousand rounds of 9mm ammo for the ship's pistol quals, ordered several thousand hand grenades. They pulled back in to the pier to find some MA's guarding a bunch of pallets and a supply officer with a lot of questions.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:It happened in 1985 so the number's probably been changed since then. That's not how they work. The system was created in 1974 and they don't reuse numbers. If there was an anchor with that number in 1985 it's still in the system even if no one has used one in decades. If you want to be as bored as I was the day I looked for the anchor, here"s the reference: https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodm/410039m.pdf?ver=2019-06-04-090814-687 I know it's a fun story but it has at most vaguely true with embellished details.

MrYenko posted:Bad news: Pistol qualifications canceled. Whenever we had ammo or munitions-type stuff that we couldn't turn back in we'd do a spend-ex and burn it all. That's how we ended up setting a live-fire range on fire. And running for our lives as the forest shot live rounds that people had tossed into it back at us. I'm imagining a bunch of junior enlisted sitting on the stern of a boat with crates of grenades, just pulling pins and throwing them into the water.

If you pull one pin would it be enough to sympathetic-detonation the entire crate, or are the casings too thick for that?

presumably the person riding it panicked or wasn't controlling their throttle hand properly and kept the gas on even when they very much shouldn't have.

That is someone who has clearly never ridden a motorcycle before. Nor, apparently, tied their shoelaces.
