More likely... the 2nd Lt. that took over the shop while you were away managed to work out the inventory and audit and DAMN sure doesn't want anything extra to show up next time.

Remember those nice green wool sweaters the USAF used to have? Way back when, during my first enlistment, before the 18 year gap in service?

I've got two.

Brats (E-2s through E-4s) and I were going through conexes doing... inventory.

We opened one that had no labels and Lord knows where it came from.

Not a single item in it, except for the body bags were still standard issue.

Shop chief said throw 'em away. Noted it on her clipboard.

So... we used my truck to take the ancient stuff to the dumpster. Mostly.

Those were great sweaters! Of course, in the late ‘90s, they kitten-ified (cleaning up the language) us with the Mr. Rogers blue sweater with elbow patches (turns head and spits disdainfully). They finally got rid of that one and brought back the pullover. Another sixty bucks. I’d say don’t get me started, but it’s WAAAAAYYYY too late. Three more years...
