That reminds me of a back-in-the- Army days. In Germany, as the Battalion Motor Officer (one of my many duties), I was responsible for maintaining over 40 M113 APCs (Armored Personnel Carriers). Since the PLL (Prescribed Load List) (inventory of spare parts) was a joke, we sacrificed one APC to be cannibalized for spare parts. Then when the PLL was replenished we would just stick the part that was removed into the cannibalized track.
(this story is not to be confused with the time we "traded" $90 worth of scotch for a complete M-60 tank, crate engine)
