"When he was told that the form would take several weeks to be processed, he told them that he would rather just pay the $700 and finish his outprocessing and be done with it (he's a Lt and can afford it). His fault for not knowing about the form, and his choice for paying the $700 rather than waiting for the form to be processed. Nobody "got screwed.""

That's called getting screwed. It wasn't his responsibility in the first place. Someone else was supposed to take care of it back in Iraq. They dropped the ball and some pencil dick officer at Hood failed to fix the problem. don't tell me an officer can't do that. I know damn well they can. This Lt was on his way home after being wounded on duty. The officer that failed to fix this should be sent N of Canada to count melting snow flakes.

That's what your ROD time is for. You are supposed to check to see if you have all the correct paperwork accomplished. If not, then get it done. Otherwise, you could be held up on the day you are supposed to leave. As he found out. Would you rather the NCOIC of the Central Issuing Facility have to pay the $700? 'Cause he would have to if he just let the item go missing from inventory without the proper paperwork from the person it was issued to. The Lt chose to pay the money. His decision.
