While on a four man EOD Team at Refit Site One (USS Hunley), Holy Loch
Scotland, I learned the actual value of $3.98 "K-BAR" fighting knives. One
of my secondary duties was supply and my OIC couldn't figure out why we
always order knives by the box, but was very pleased that all maintainence,
calibration, and team gear were in order whenever a mission or inspection
popped up!

Some called us "duty thieves". We thought "mission expediters" was more
correct.
