The inspectors also found that some of the agents "apparently attempted to conceal the fact that armor-piercing rounds were lost, missing or stolen by turning in regular ammunition rounds that had their tips colored black to look like armor-piercing ammunition."
Theft of government property.
The inspectors concluded that the OST, which transports nuclear weapons, warhead components and special nuclear materials, does not adequately keep track of its ammunition.
What else are they not adequately keeping track of? I would be concerned about that.
That officer and 16 other agents from Oak Ridge took the rounds back with them aboard a DC-9 airplane and then stored the ammunition in their homes and lockers at Oak Ridge,
Again, government property being "stored" in their homes. That is theft, they are just claiming to have "stored" it for CYA reasons.
An officer from the Eastern Command in Oak Ridge took possession of the rounds after signing a memo that indicated the ammunition was intended for "road use," the report said. But the proper forms were not used and the move was not properly approved.
If the forms were not properly approved, which should have caught the improper form use, the ammo should have stayed in TX. BTW, what the heck is "road use"? Is it to use when they have road rage?
“Road use” is when they are in the act of transporting to use against vehicles or hardened targets.
The government ( not military ) always furnished my ammo and insisted that I keep a supply at home for when I was deployed off hours from home and did not have time to go by office.
