No connection whatsoever to the current issues with the USPS but years ago, during one of my unit’s many deployments to SWA (C130s always seem to be in demand) we had a main tire disappear - personally I suspected the USMC 130 guys down the ramp from us - so on return I adjusted it off our inventory and life went on. But evidently it was mishandled by the Transportation guys at the base because nearly a year later it turns up on a truck, shipped under the same requisition number from our deployed location, all the way to CONUS via military airfreight through Charleston SC. I peeled off the layers of shipping labels and we could see it had shipped from Germany under our requisition to the deployed location then months later a new duplicate label with a new consignee was printed sending it stateside. So back on the inventory it went after a nice little vacation on the big beach without an ocean
