Is a lot of things going missing?
 Quoting: Harbinger Of Truth


It's actually pretty common for equipment to go missing on a field training exercise (FTX). There is usually a rigorous search... lasting a few hours to perhaps 3 days. After that, the time becomes more valuable than the equipment, and the search stops. The soldier(s) who lost the gear get disciplined, and things go back to normal.

What is odd about this is case
1. the length of the search
2. there being a published 'valuation' of the missing equipment
3. That it made the civilian news at all

It's definitely not a typical situation... but I don't have enough info to do more than vaguely speculate on what is actually "missing" to keep them searching for so long.

Even so, my best two guesses are either A) they have a fugitive, not a lost article; and/or B) there are multiple combat weapons involved in the "loss"...

I am dating one of the soldiers. Its actually missing equipment, not a fugitive. It is a lot of weapons missing. Not just a few bayonets. More like 120, and 800 scopes. The scopes alone are in their own boxes which is the size of a shoe box. Its not like a little box went missing. It had to have taken time for someone to get all that gear out without being seen. That's why I honestly think they were shipped out previously and the paper trail was lost. I really wanted to see my soldier for thanksgiving. All leave was cancelled.

sad
