Col. Jason Beers, who last month was relieved of command of the 91st Security Forces Group at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota over the loss of weapons and ammunition, is moving to a new leadership position at Air Force Special Operations Command.

This summer, Beers will become the chief of AFSOC’s installations division, AFSOC spokeswoman Capt. Amanda Farr said in an email Friday.

Beers was fired after the high-profile losses of a case of grenade launcher ammunition and a machine gun earlier this year.

Put him in charge of nukes

What the Hell!?!?!?

When I was in the Army, this would have been a career ending action.

It's only a machine gun and grenades, everyone makes mistakes.

They might. After all,a transfer to Special Operations is usually given the "golden boys" with connections and considered to be a move to promote. "Putting check marks" beside your promotion schedule."

You have to wonder who he is blowing.

Well to be fair he wasn't the one that actually lost them.    They fell off the back of a truck.

Its shocking that whoever found em didn't just turn em in.
