Strangest items requireing an EUC

[greenjeepster]

All the the talk about bikes and lawn mowers and such requiring EUCs got me thinking about some of the things I have wondered about in the past. The one item that I looked at in disbelief that took the cake for me was a horse. Yes a real live army horse at Fort Sam Houston if I remember correctly. The pictures of the nag even showed the carvery brand on its neck. Makes you wonder who they hire to classify this stuff. I am expecting to see bomb dogs listed someday with code Q status

Probably my favorite example of EUC stupidity was some trailer mounted AC units.

3/4 ton trailer. 5kW generator, and the AC unit. No EUC.

But had just the trailer, or just the generator been sold, EUC city....

Did you not know that goverment agencies are required to waste a certain amount of tax payer money each year. The EUC system is just one of the ways they meet there annual quota.

You obviously misinterpeted the EUC requirement...not End User Cetificate.....it was Equine User Certificate.

There was a 15ft John boat w/ trailer up here in St. Paul last year that required an EUC. No motor (outboard or trolley) was even on the boat. Must have been the wheels bearings off some fighter plane that made it an issue.......

Wasn't there a pallet of vaseline a while ago that needed an euc or was a sealed bid because it was used with jet aircraft?

Up here we had canoes. I mean, freaking fibreglas Coleman canoes right out of the MWR shed. Missing Paddles. EUC required. Must have been special force-recon canoes. Low RADAR cross-section? Well, they were green.

Then they had a bunch of aluminum rowboats... same thing. EUC required. Except they were yellow. But like the canoes, had MWR numbers painted on them.

But when they had a couple NCW (Naval Coastal Warfare) Boston Whalers with gunmount pads, NO EUC. Go figure.

Had to be Navy surplus.









Sorry Swabbies....that was just too easy.

I've bought painted green plywood that needed a EUC. Wayne

And it ain't just the EUC's...how about the mutilation orders?

Aircraft wing...and I mean just a wing...gotta be mutilated on site? Well...OK...maybe that one...but this one was an obvious boo boo and it was at Ft Benning, GA.... no chit:

I'm paraphrasing here....:
3 Pallets of floor polishing buffers. Pallets included in sale. Mutilation required before title to equipment passes to buyer?

So I guess the EUC would read...I intend to purchase said buffers so I can mutilate them and have a really big pile of chit to sell for less than I paid

OK...actually there was no EUC or mutilation required after my buddy who won them asked some questions...just a simple mistake by some simple folks performing a simple task

I was going to make a comment about not needing it any more because they are doing away with "don't ask, don't tell"... but I refrained

LOL: Knox sells off fired brass all the time that has to be crushed prior to removal. Even .223 brass which would be great for reloading and you can buy any day of the week at the sporting goods shop. The bigger stuff is useless to the average civilian anyway and with brass selling for what it does as scrap, that would most likely be the end of it anyway.

They should give this forum the contract to dispose of this stuff, we would get it done much cheaper and quickly. Hell most of the stuff would not even need to be listed for action cause we would just buy it on the spot I would work 2-3 days a week for nothing, just to be able to look through all the stuff coming through the door
