I've been out of the "gear stuff" side of things for a while and I have no comment on this charge.
I did find it funny while I was in that some guys were "in the know" on stuff, had contacts at SATMO, or other similar things. Now and again we would get stuff to "play" with and we had no idea who payed for it.
Depending on who payed for the mission and who we were working for/with said alot about what we got. Sometimes our iso box was empty when we came home and sometimes we were fat for the next three years.
One trip a pat on the back and the next 3 days comp time. Then again, there was the trip where we got off the plane from Africa and we were hauled off to Group for interrogation
. The bad news beat us back to Bragg and we didn't even know what it was. Talk about the "Deer in the headlights" look.
