An Officer or Senior NCO losing thier weapon is no surprise to me. Everytime I was "locked down" in the Army was because some Officer or Senior NCO lost thier weapon. Of course we were the ones who always caught hell for it.
The best one of all was when I was in the 101st. We had a Sgt Major lose his M-9 pistol. We all got locked down in the field, complete shake down of our equipment in the dirt, tear down of everything that wasn't bolted or welded, no sleep all night. And in the end it turns out that Son of a Bees Wax Sgt Major had put his M-9 in his duffle bag and forgot about it.
