I worked with a man who was on ships with the navy..He said the bottom of the ocean is full of military equipment...Every time a higher up visited, all equipment they could was tossed overboard and new equipment was ordered....
He was correct. You could almost time when the fiscal year was about to end. That was when we in Supply were ordered to ‘relocate’ lots of unused or expired items. This so we could ask for increased funding for the next few quarters.
