There is money that hasn't been obligated, that might be lost.
Reminds me of my tour with TACAMO in Guam where as this Aviation Electronics Warrant Officer, acting as the supply officer for the squadron, saved on a couple of $55K items by having a consumable supply stock number changed to the correct repairable supply stock number. The next quarter we lost an equivalent amount of funding because we obviously didn't need as much money since the items were now considered repairable.
So I saved you the tax payer, some money, but I really could have used the money where we were short in other areas. It still cost money to have the items repaired.
You have to watch those bean counters. :-)
