The Class IV Lot

In the Marine Corps, Class IV refers to any material used in construction. So, lumber, nails, HESCO, concrete, windows, all that is Class IV. We have a giant lot full of shipping containers that are full of class IV. Unfortunately when those containers got here they were not put down in any sort of actual order. This means that for the next week or so 1st squad gets to hunt through all of the containers and figure out what is in them and clean up all the stuff that got broken in trnasit. It can be kind of a dirty, backbreaking, and tedious job. But in the end it makes it worth it when we are trying to prep for a mission.
