This is the same base where about 14 years ago a sergeant tried to steal an F-16 engine from the depot.
“This is the same base where about 14 years ago a sergeant tried to steal an F-16 engine from the depot.”
I was assigned on the base when that happened.
It was two security forces sergeants who stupidly tried ot sell the engine to guy who was a retired maintenance supervisor who then called the Office of Special Investigations office after they contacted him. They simply went to the engine shop.. grabed a mule and hooked on a engine... got caught out near the North Gate...
I use to live in the Dormitories assigned to the 720th Air Control Squadron while assigned to another unit.. I am NOT at all surprised to hear about a box of missing M-16’s...
But to all of who harping about the Air Force loosing these weapons... The Army has been documented to loose a whole lot more hand weapons.. up too Dragon anti-tank launchers...I can remember hearing about a gross of Marine Corps M-16’s come up missing on year.
Its bad enough about the Nuclear Weapons.. now a box of
M-16’s.. with the Chief of Staff resiging and the Secretary too.. I am sure there is going to be a whole lot of training stand-downs.. and a whole lot of procedure changes and examinations.
I have had a couple of phone calls from former co-workers bitching about how they have to
re-examine their processes on jobs and have them reviewed by the commander personally.
The Air Force is down.. but not out.
