Default Strangest items requireing an EUC

All the the talk about bikes and lawn mowers and such requiring EUCs got me thinking about some of the things I have wondered about in the past. The one item that I looked at in disbelief that took the cake for me was a horse. Yes a real live army horse at Fort Sam Houston if I remember correctly. The pictures of the nag even showed the carvery brand on its neck. Makes you wonder who they hire to classify this stuff. I am expecting to see bomb dogs listed someday with code Q status

Probably my favorite example of EUC stupidity was some trailer mounted AC units.

3/4 ton trailer. 5kW generator, and the AC unit. No EUC.

But had just the trailer, or just the generator been sold, EUC city....

Did you not know that goverment agencies are required to waste a certain amount of tax payer money each year. The EUC system is just one of the ways they meet there annual quota.

You obviously misinterpeted the EUC requirement...not End User Cetificate.....it was Equine User Certificate.

There was a 15ft John boat w/ trailer up here in St. Paul last year that required an EUC. No motor (outboard or trolley) was even on the boat. Must have been the wheels bearings off some fighter plane that made it an issue.......

Wasn't there a pallet of vaseline a while ago that needed an euc or was a sealed bid because it was used with jet aircraft?

Up here we had canoes. I mean, freaking fibreglas Coleman canoes right out of the MWR shed. Missing Paddles. EUC required. Must have been special force-recon canoes. Low RADAR cross-section? Well, they were green.

Then they had a bunch of aluminum rowboats... same thing. EUC required. Except they were yellow. But like the canoes, had MWR numbers painted on them.

But when they had a couple NCW (Naval Coastal Warfare) Boston Whalers with gunmount pads, NO EUC. Go figure.
