As a retired O-5, myself, I would think that this officer would hold himself to a higher standard. I see numerous comments about "anti-gunners" and each one of them may well be valid. The point, however, is that, as ridiculous as any of it might be, there are authorities who will insist on these things. It is incumbent on those of us who are Sr. Grade Officers to pay attention to the small details. In this case, the article states that items were transported "...without the proper license and authorization..." which implies that it would have been possible to obtain proper licenses and authorizations. Why was that not done?
To be clear, this could, indeed, be an "anti-gunner" setup. In that case, much more sympathy might be possible. If the LTC did make an honest effort to obtain authorizations and licenses, then he might have a defense.
I'll leave it at that; 'nuff said.

Surrender His passport? Did they confiscate His CAC? The parts listed would be for repair purposes to nonfunctional guns also. Most of it was appearance related not function. The crossing state lines charge could just mean He drove across post with something in His trunk. Really the only thing I see He may have a problem with is if He was flying MAC standby then selling the parts. could be some misappropriation there. He's EOD so his trips to Europe might have been mission related. I think its anti-gunners trying to make something out of nothing.

LTC Stephen C.
What you stated makes perfect sense, SGT (Join to see), but the "you can't fix stupid" saying seems to fit somewhere!
