We got new toolboxes. The commander made everyone who got one of the new ones sign the memo below. This IS for real:
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING Subject: Issue of New Mechanics Toolboxes 1. I, the undersigned, understand: a. This is my toolbox; there are many like it, but this one is mine. I understand that I am responsible for its contents or lack thereof. When CPT Trant eventually does a change of command, which will occur sometime before her seventieth birthday, I will still be responsible for everything in or not in my toolbox. At the time of the inventory, if I am missing anything - even if it's a screwdriver bit or something no one ever uses like a wrench, I will be required, on the spot, to pay for the tools replacement at the exorbitant (very expensive) GSA catalog rate. I know that my tools were purchased through the same organization that paid twenty thousand dollars for a toilet seat, so I will be especially careful not to lose them. But if I do, I will pay through either cash collection voucher or a statement of charges. I will pay and no amount of begging will change that fact. I have been forewarned. b. Furthermore, I understand that these toolboxes were not made by mechanics. They were made by nerdy gizmo freaks who do not understand the amount of abuse my old metal toolbox suffered. I understand that I must be gentler with this toolbox because it is made of plastic. I cannot use it as a chock block; I cannot hit other soldiers with it, or attempt to crush it against my forehead. I cannot drop it off the back of a truck, especially if it's cold, or it will shatter. I will treat it as gently as I would my own child (or for some, replace with X-Box.) If the toolbox itself should become damaged or if one of my tools becomes damaged through my "use a bigger hammer" concept of repair, I will notify my supervisor immediately. I will prepare it for turn-in and keep a copy of my turn-in document for display during the eventual change of command inventory. I understand that if I do not have this turn in document and my shortage annex is not correctly annotated, I will be required to pay for it. See above about the effectiveness of crying, etc. 2. Point of contact is the undersigned. Signature_____________________ Printed name and rank________________________ |

For some...it is hard to understand the militay "logic". It is something that has to be EXPERIENCED first-hand. Great memo... I too hate to lose tools, (or even pens), must be the german-in-me ! The worst was a pair of valadium slip-joint plyers (1960's Craftsman) Loved those... left under a customer's deck in a mother of a storm...and yes, they were gone when I went-back to look!
