Someone from Fort Lewis must have had their household goods inspected and got told it couldn’t be packed in the shipment.
when i was a 107mm mortar platoon leader at grafenwoehr BRD in ‘76 i had a 108mm round that would not fit down the tube. tried to turn it into eod and they asked if it was defective. i said it wouldn’t fit in the tube. they replied yes but is it defective? they would not take. the ammo point would not take it so we sent with with a batch of ammo for another mortar platoon to use. it could still be getting passed around.
