What I want to know, who is their distributor/vender?
I've heard active duty can buy them at some BX's, but my BX doesn't sell them.
My local BX:
Me: "Can you special order stuff?"
BX lady: "Yes, we special order stuff. What do you want?"
Me: "'M16 Cartridges', I have the NSN, P/N and SKU numbers, if that helps."
BX lady: "That's would be in hunting equipment."
Me: "They're aren't any there."
BX lady: "If it's not on the shelf, we don't sell it." [rolleyes]
Different BX while on leave:
Me: "Can you special order stuff?"
BX lady: "What do you want?"
Me: "Aluminum containers." ([;)])
BX lady: "I'll give you the "Special Orders"
number and you can order it through them.
Me: "Okay, thank you."
Special Orders:
Me: "I'd like to order 'M16 Cartridges'. I have the NSN, SKU, and P/N numbers."
SOs: "Who makes them?"
Me: (guessing) "Center Industries."
SOs: "We have no listing for Center Industries."
Me: "I have the NSN, SKU, and P/N numbers. Can't I order using those?"
SOs : "I need to know the vender."
Me: "You mean like the distributor?"
SOs: "Yes."
So, who's the vender/distributor the military(BX) buys them from?
Thanks! [:)]
