Ya got to love the gooberment.
What is ironic about this situation is that the military is paying a buttload of money for new parts and at the same time said parts are going out the back door at discount prices.
I used to do a lot of dumpster diving when I was in the Active Army.
Our motor pool shared a dumster with the transportation unit adjcent to us.
Any time there was a big inspection I checked said dumpster several times a day.
My loot included new brakedrums for Dodge pickups and Chevys (CCUV), oil and fuel filters for 400 Cummins engines and all kinds of other goodies that couldn't be carried as "excess".
The first time I found stuff like this I tried to return it to the unit and got reamed for sticking my nose in their business.
I still have three various size sledge hammers I found that were thrown away because we could order new hammers but not handles. GO FIGURE!!
The lunatics are indeed running the asylum.
