Any GI, current or former remembers CIF

otherwise known as Central Issue Facility. It's where they go to get their field gear issued and turning it back in when you clear post is a nightmare. They get upset when you try and turn in field gear with shrapnel and bullet holes in it.

Apparently this GI was trying to write off some of his field gear as a combat loss after an explosion tore off one of his arms and blinded him in one eye and destroyed his field gear. He was required to submit a sworn statement and shows he still has a sense of  humor. 

Any GI that has ever had to clear CIF will like this statement he wrote.
