A California Marine has been hauled into federal custody after authorities say he treated a military armory like a personal pawn shop, stealing high-tech missile systems and selling them off in Arizona.

Corporal Andrew Paul Amarillas, an Arizona native who served as an ammunition technician at Camp Pendleton, is accused of making off with a terrifying haul of restricted “weapons of war,” including Javelin missile systems and military-grade ammo, according to federal court documents.

Don’t all those items get inventoried on regular basis?
What about the chain of custody? Were documents left blank or falsified?

He was in charge. He’s a 23 year old high school graduate who is already a Corporal. A very industrious go getter.

I was not “regular army”
I was only National Guard.
One of my assignments was daily weapons inventory.
If anything was missing, all HELL broke loose.

It will be falsified docs. This is an S-4 billet. He would have requisitioned ordinance from HQ then been responsible for distribution to units. Simple matter of not delivering what you requisitioned.

“some “2 million rounds of M855” ammunition may reportedly be unaccounted for, according to AZFamily.”

That’s a lot of falsified documents.

Sounds like my old buddy Michael Tubbs of Charlottesville alt right plus notoriety

Similar charges against him from Bragg late 80s

Quite a character

“Wardaddy you understand of course when the war against ZOG starts we’ll have to kill you first since you should know better”

Something like that lol

Indeed, it is. Gurgle says that the regimental or brigade tier allocation is millions of rounds per annum.

What are the odds his “uncle” in Sonora is a “rancher” that has Chicom friends.

A friend of mine was in a helicopter when another soldier dropped his untethered pistol out of the hatch.

They landed and searched the woods for hours trying to help him find it to no avail.

M855 = 5.56 x45 green tip, about 2,400 ammo cans or two semi trailers.
