    I was stationed on Ft. Moore back when it was called Ft. Benning. During our yearly Victory Focus excersize one of our soldiers lost his M-16 rifle. The entire base went on lock down. No one was allowed in or out of the base and since it was a member of our unit that lost the rifle we were not allowed to return from the field until it was found. I can’t remember how many days went by before it was found buried in a foxhole. I just learned from a friend on Ft. Moore that the base is not on lock down at the moment. This leads me to believe they have a pretty good idea as to where those weapons are. What I cannot understand is how they got stolen in the first place. These weapons, when not in use, are kept in secure facilities. It’s not like anyone, including a soldier stationed on the base can just walk in and take them. Which is why I think CID already has some leads. Godspeed to the thieves, Uncle Sam will always get the last laugh.
