In the military, a warehouse fire or equivalent suddenly generates a ton of "backdated transfer requests" showing that various stock had been sent to the warehouse just previously!
- dTal 10y agoThis sounds like rank corruption. Surely such a thing is rare in the military?
- marcoperaza 10y agoTo be fair, there's a plausible explanation for what robaato describes that doesn't involve corruption. Suppose it's standard or common to move things first and then file such "backdated transfer requests". After a fire that destroys everything in a warehouse, there would be a flurry of activity to quickly account for everything that was destroyed, so paperwork that would otherwise have trickled in over a month or two might suddenly be hurriedly filed in a few days.
- dragonwriter 10y agoIt could just be lackadaisical administration that only gets urgently addressed when there is something perceived as a particular problem. The military is not exactly known for being great at keeping track of things that aren't nuclear weapons, and sometimes falls short even on those.
