Norfolk forms a continuous urban sprawl of military industrial complex with Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads, and Newport News. Between Ft. Eustis, Langley AFB, Little Creek, Norfolk, Ft. Story, and Oceana, it's probably the biggest conglomeration of military bases on earth.

Ft. Story owns as a TDY/Duty Station FYI.

He'd be lucky if that's all that was wrong with it. My company brought all our M9s to the range one day, only to find out that only 2 of them were actually functional. We got to rotate through qualifying with those two until everyone was done that needed it, except the sights weren't zeroed so it was more guesswork than anything else :gonk:

That's about the only thing that would really cause it to shoot that far off paper mechanically. There are other factors, but I doubt quality of ammunition and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt on user error.

Ohio ARNG AFAIK. Whatever BCT.

My only "deployment" was to Kuwait a few months after they took away patches for Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, etc. Although on the upside I had an actual cool job which gave me the opportunity to go hang out in Kuwait City and actually see what the middle east (or at least a small slice of the GCC) is like outside of active combat zones which was genuinely pretty fascinating. I sort of sometimes feel bad about never going to Iraq or Afghanistan, but whatever I probably got the way better end of the deal here.

Soldier got a call from a civilian LT from MPI. He was told there's a case involving counterfeit money that his wife used at the commissary. He needs to meet the manager and pay up the money owed or he'll face consequences.

He tells me and I think it's a scam. Go to the MP station and no poo poo he works there and used his government cell phone. Now it's a closed case, the LT just wanted more info, nothing bad will happen and he should meet the manager and pay what's owed cause it's the right thing to do. But he's not telling us he has to.

Stupid question but if he or his wife didn't knowingly pass the counterfeit money as in they thought it was real, why does he owe the commissary anything if the commissary didn't catch it at the point of sale?

I was the one that wrote it and the victim in the incident reached out to me about getting copies for a claim that he is trying to file. I would have wrote it in Jan/Feb 2008 or so in a camp that we apparently closed in 2014.

I do not know where the records would be kept or who would have access to the database.

I would start the journey to finding that person (who knows about records/files/archives) by calling the good people here: http://www.benning.army.mil/garrison/des/PoliceReport.html

They might not be able to help you find exactly what you're looking for, but they would know more about how these things are kept (if at all).

Also you might try: http://www.cid.army.mil/crc.html

Thanks for the help. I wasn't sure how much would still exist considering that a new unit rotated into that camp every 9 months or so and I think the Air Force even took over PMO operations at one point before we closed down the camp.

Oh CIF, the light of my life!

To go through SERE we were forced to draw field equipment including a canteen cup. Part of the curriculum of the course involved heating the cup over fire, blackening its bottom. CIF would not take the cup for turn in, as it "looked used." The spray paint color you're looking for is called aluminum. Similar story with an e-tool. It's not black spray paint, it's e-tool cleaner.

I had a guy ETS without clearing CIF at all. So we got in touch with mr. civilian and let him know that the IRS would garnish his tax returns to the tune of the $6k of TA-50 he never turned back in. He came back to finish clearing, but CIF wouldn't let him turn the gear in unless he was in uniform, but he was a full, DD-214-holding civilian now. He borrowed a friend's uniform, wore it unshaven with long hair and no patches like a terp, and turned his poo poo in.

When I left Hood I turned in a bunch of extra RFI stuff to CIF just so it wouldn't be on my record. They wanted some belt back that I didn't have, so I told the guy I would just pay for it to clear the entry. He yells over to his buddy pushing a big cart around and says "Let me get one of them belts!", takes someone else's turned-in belt, and hands it to me so I can hand it back to him and he can check it off.

I mean I'm happy that you saved me $8, but it kind of undercuts the moral high road you used to justify bureaucratic nonsense in the previous encounters.

Stupid question but wouldn't a box have to be pencil whip checked somewhere that said mr. civilian cleared CIF so that his box went from red to green on an excel spreadsheet somewhere so that he could ETS?

Possibly. When you redeploy a UIC to home station and collapse the rear D, a lot of dudes who are on terminal leave get temporarily assigned to company rosters. These are guys you may never have met, and will definitely not see because they're on terminal already. Somewhere in that seam, somebody let him go on leave without finishing clearing, and it wasn't handed off to me. poo poo happens.

gently caress it, I'd roll the dice on the IRS garnishment and appeal it claiming I cleared.
