I've had to to to back thru the thread to see if I had posted something.This thread is almost three years old. I'm having trouble remembering what I've posted here. Hopefully everyone who reads this thread is having similar issues and won't notice I've posted the same story multiple times.
Start with a DRMO story.Oh lord, where do I start with my 27 years of military stories?! I'll think on it a bit and report back later.

Extra points for having the national stock number in a DRMO story.NSN 1240-01-005-6035
M19 night vision cost $999.00
When I was a young SGT E-5 at Ft Carson about 1992. My PSG lost his M19 I drove by the DRMO yard everyday. We referred to it as the “can point” basically a junkyard.
Remove part fill out form and leave with part. In theory you should not be get a M19 from the “can point” that would have to go on the CO’s property book.
PSG freaking out not only the cost but it was missing from his M113. So that was going to make him look stupid.
A unit had turned in a ton of M113 for Bradley’s. Told the PSG give me till the end of the day before you say anything.
Grabbed a mechanic that was on the signature card for DRMO. Went to “can point” got a M19 signed for it and walked out.
Guys that worked at DRMO didn’t really give a crap what you took as long as you signed for it.

Ft Eustis? You have "I-64 is a parking lot" stories that are no BS. I went to JOPES training at Fort Eustis in 2003 (stationed at Langley AFB pre-JB BS a little later.) A trash-truck broke down on the side of the road clogged traffic for miles.Sorry, no experiences with DRMO. One of my last "you can't make this up experiences" was at Ft. Eustis in the summer of 2019. The BDE S2 NCOIC had arranged for the brigade to receive their annual TARP Training. Class times were set starting at 0900 down in a classroom at 3rd Port. The instructor was a counterintel CID agent who told the NCOIC he wasn't familiar with the classroom location and would leave early so he had time to find it. That sizzling summer morning more soldiers attended the first class than expected so myself and a few other SRNCOs had the soldiers pack tightly into the classroom while we all waited for agent to arrive. 0905 came and no agent. 0910 and the NCOIC called the CID office and was informed the agent had left some time ago. 0915 and still no agent. I walked outside to get some fresh air (the ac was broken in the classroom) and looked around for the agent. 0930 the S2 NCOIC finally gave up on the agent and told everyone to leave. Around 1000 the NCOIC got a call from the agent and was asked why the NCOIC wasn't present for the training. After some discussion it was found that the agent had ducked his head into a small shop with 5 soldiers present and said he was there to present a class. The soldiers said their NCO had told them they were going to attend some training at 0900 so they kicked off the TARP training right there in the shop while about 90 of us were sweating away in a classroom made for about 40 pax. We were no more than 50yds apart the whole time. The next class went off without a hitch at 1300. The soldiers all waited outside the classroom until the S2 NCOIC yelled for them to take their seats inside.
