    Some individuals both in the mil and LE just have a natural talent for scrounging and trading. They are valuable skills that can make you friends as well as enemies.
    I have a sign by my "area" at work that says "Sanford and Son Junkyard". I try and impart my um, skills on some of the young soldiers of today.

    I once knew a guy whose philosophy was, "It ain't stealing if no one else is going to use it." He was a great resource for hard to find things, but I tried not to use him unless it was an absolute necessity. I would never ask where anything came from. At least in the military you knew that almost everything was being paid for by the taxpayers and you were using it to accomplish a mission. I'm not sure whether that justification compromised my ethics, but in the end, the mission always comes first.

    I don't know if I have ever lived in a black and white world, but I can say that at least for the last forty years, my world has been various shades of gray. Way more than 50 shades
