I have some tags of some PCS/ETS SM, how should I go about destroying them? I hear a lot about chuck and bury, but obviously that's the wrong answer. Talked to both S-1 and S-2, just to get a blank stare. Attempted to XXXX out PII, but you can still clearly read the number. I am at a loss just looking for some new ideas.

Your arms room probably has a bolt/lock cutter. That should be enough to destroy them. Also, when someone asks why your destroying them... your answer should be to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII), not prevent OPSEC.

SFC (Join to see) - Your welcome, a more entertaining way to accomplish the mission would be some SGTs Time Training on Incendiary grenades... however I don't know if those are even used anymore.

The Last Time I conducted an "Emergency Destruction" was Fiery Vigil in 91. Don't limit yourself anything and everything you can conceive of is good. Bash them, Cut them, Melt them if Possible. An Oxidizing Agent is Good. "Burial at Sea" is Good. Any Combination of Means is Better.

Hydrogen Peroxide is a good Oxidizing Agent, Bolt Cutters like SSG (Join to see) Recommended is a Great Idea. When it came to what I had to do Erasing any record of NSA in the PI after Mt Pinatubo I went out of my way to exhaust anything and everything to erase stuff.
