Stealing implied taking stuff for personal gain, and that was a no-no. "Reallocating" meant Uncle still owned it, it just wasn't where he originally intended it to be.
Scrounger is a semi-official position in Marine units. They were the ones who could find, or talk someone into giving, whatever was needed.
The Seabees were always pretty outstanding at getting us stuff, or building things for us. They knew that in return, Marines fought like tigers to protect them (though most of them were pretty darn good in a fight themselves. One thing worse than fighting Marines, is fighting Marines and Seabees together!).
Cheers
PS - clarification for my earlier post - BnFx means Battalion Field Exercise, it occurred to me that not everyone would recognize the acronym.
