Sounds like his Aide will get a bad OER since they didn't keep his equipment lined up and accounted for.

Well since Flag Officers have the authority to design their own uniforms and they purchase every piece with their own funds, so I found this comical.
I had to laugh at the Duffle Blog humorous post - if military clearance records from assignments in 1979 and 1985 were automated then tracking down errant entries and missing aluminum canteen cups wouldn't be so difficult:-).
FYI - I helped to draft the improved Army OCIE procedures 10 years ago and am very familiar with the process.

Funny thing is, 99% of all CIFs are ran by civilians. So one cannot blame the Army for this.

$1,040,000.00 for a canteen?! Two Problems:
1.) Our defense contractors are charging the DoD way too much for equipment; and,
2.) The source is DuffleBlog.
CIF = Satan's A##hole. Now, that is funny!

LTC Private RallyPoint Member A "worn-out" canteen cover was my first experience like that in 1953! Like, I wore-out a canteen cover in 1 week in the field! As a PVT 1, I did not sign the Statement of Charges some pxxxk cadre was telling me to; 'sign here'!
