Priced at $64K, corporal finds way to replace with stuff costing only $4k. He even made a Power Point video and sent it out to other marines so they could make their own replacements.
“There may be a good reason for the price, but based on us taking apart the cable and researching the individual parts, we’ve found no reason for this part to cost as much as it does,” Clement told Stripes, which broke the story in December.
Not only was Clement right, he’d saved the military at least seven figures once higher-ups caught wind of his work. He produced a presentation “made up of color-coded pictures and drawings, which make it easier for other Marines in his field to follow,” according to the release.
