SAS, I guess then the, ahem, over stocking was standard practice, recall when our unit was up for inspection by head shed trucks were loaded with excess stock and drivers told not to return until such and such time. We did run out of o-rings though, had departed base cruising along as you do when the main transmission pressure dropped to zero, crew chief had done a required filter change that night but reused the o-ring as none were available, the Cambodian push had apparently caused shortages in the supply chain.
