I went to stores to draw a shoulder-holster for my personal piece, only to be informed that these were “war stocks” and couldn’t be issued. Small outburst remedied that!
Back in a former life, I was i/c the Sqn map store. With a TOW shoot coming up, I ordered some Range Safety maps. When they didn't arrive, I phoned to enquire why. I was told that all they had left were their "war stock".
I pointed out that if war was declared Germany would become a two way range and those maps wouldn't be of much use.
Still had to get my boss to phone his boss to solve the problem though.
