Gear Adrift 

There is an old saying in the Marine Corps that goes, "There is only one thief in the Marine Corps...everyone else is trying to get their stuff back." Another saying is, "Gear adrift is a gift." Marines need to learn the importance of gear accountability early on. This gear is important and very expensive.
