NSN numbers can be tricky. Off by 1 number and you just might get a boat anchor instead a box of glowstick. You think somebody in the supply chain would have asked why an armoured unit would need a boat anchor, but nooo.....

Our QM went 1 digit out on a checklist item for the LSVW and had a complete LSVW frame show up.


Did you keep the anchor? Should have worked fine on the side of an AVGP.

I knew some guys who found the NSN for a CF18 and slipped it into a stack of QM requests for their reserve unit to order. The Item Manager called to play along with the joke. I never heard the ending.

Thanks Terry . I think that order ( CF118 ) would of wiped out the budget of that unit for 20 years ….
