Logistics, JAG, contracting get their hands caught in the cookie jars for hundreds of thousands, if not millions.
Just see that he is the civil to military liason for the transfer of surplus DoD equipment to other State and Federal agencies. With a few NCOs and his JAG friends there is plenty of room for things to fall off the property books.

This X1000! Well said! I might use your quote "Now, criminals on the other hand last, and last, and last" if I ever have to go back to the JAG world. My worst cases as a recorder in separation boards were the E4/E5/E6 who screwed up once. Hell, if it was a DUI or a positive drug test I'd almost always recommend retention with piss tests.
Conversely, I took great joy in trying to remove a senior NCO or Officer from the service as most of them fit your description to a T by the time they actually got caught!
