Morale, Welfare and Recreation use them for post family days and national holidays. Most posts invite the families onto post to look at military equipment, play games, get familiarization with their spouses job, etc. There is usually a bunch of local charities selling food, toys and other stuff. Also a bunch of military affiliated businesses and NGOs show up with booths and stuff.
It is usually a pretty good day for all involved.
From the article:
“The father and son stand accused of stealing at least 80 items of U.S. Government property worth in excess of $80,000, while working at the United States Property and Fiscal Office, West Virginia warehouse. Russell Morgan served as Warehouse Supervisor between June 2009 and August 2016. Sergeant First Class Morgan worked as a full-time Federal Technician with the West Virginia Army National Guard at the USPFO-WV.
Count three of the indictment accuses the pair of embezzling an inflatable bounce house from the Government. The indictment goes on to accuse Sergeant First Class Morgan of forging the property document to downgrade the bounce house’s condition to unserviceable or condemned.”
Bad headline by the editor or reporter.
It wasn’t just the Bounce house involved.
I imagine the Guard unit had it for unit family activities or community events.
Ahh, they were caught embezzling property from the US Government. Enjoy your prison time.
Wait just a minute! Why are my tax dollars being used to buy the government bouncy houses?
