$3,000,000 in field losses for the Canadian military. That must be a drop in the bucket compared to the embitter and other radios and miscellaneous Equipment lost just by the the active military branches and all the reserve components including the National Guard. Is there a similar story showing losses from the US Military for 2016?

The only loss I'd concern myself with is the two weapons and if there were any small arms parts. Everything else could be written off as suggested in the article bc it is expendable materiel. The durable items were probably coded out and are up for re-sale at a government auction. I'd speculate that DoD looses are 300 times worse than the Canadian military. I fondly remember units walking thru the desert to find a lost NVG or weapon at NTC that they never found. The best story was when an air crew member leaned too far and his 9mm fell to the ground somewhere in the central corridor. They were on a mission to locate another 9mm that a crew member had placed on the rotor but forgot until after the AC had taken off. That Battalion received a lot of love from the CG that day.

My friend in the Army Reserve was in charge of a section and one of the ncos Lost of embitter radio. He was able to fight a crooked Commander purposely tried to write a bad officer evaluation report. His security clearance was pulled they wouldn't submit his observation report even though it doesn't matter until after the 15-6 is done. I am glad he was able to fight it and win. He didn't want to General officers letter of reprimand. I am glad I'm not in his Brigade.

LTC (Join to see) - Those are always a tough call. If the individual or the section had a habit of loosing items and lacked responsibility I can see a Commander writing up some not so nice comments on an OER and submit a FLIPL for the OIC to pay. I submitted a FLIPL against one of my Company Commanders after about 6 months of no action on equipment on his property book. I wrote up the FLIPL for over 60k of loss after I went thru his maintenance bay and connexs to find the missing items. My Brigade Commander signed the FLIPL and I had one mad Company Commander.

LTC (Join to see) - it's a long story. something that I hadn't seen since the National Guard days. Rags were not being followed as far as doing the evaluation report because you're supposed to still do it based on the timeline of what the good things he did during the air. You can't write the evaluation report when it's still an ongoing investigation. IG, sja and maybe a big from another unit could have gotten involved if things did not go his way. Thankfully, the nuclear option wasn't necessary because the Command Staff new what this officer was going to unleash if things did not get fixed and done to regulation.

LTC (Join to see) they need to bring in some CIF employees to show them how make up for the losses.
