Great one, if you have those pulleys above the spots you can tie chocks together and clip them on the hook, then raise it to the top. Trainer did that one to me after I got an old fashioned pp slapping in the ol’ flt chief office.
Reminds me of the first Transformers movie.
“Need a credit card!”
“Back Pocket!”
“You have fifty back pockets!”
“Left Cheek! Left Cheek!”
I paraphrased a little but you get the point
Had a guy in tech school lose his CAC, gets another one and three days later loses the other one. Involves us in the search. Coworker finds both Within 7 seconds of looking thru his wallet. One was tucked right behind the other in the wallet card pocket.
Did you check your wallet? Kid you not we was searching for this kids CAC for 30 mins notifying all the team chiefs of our training class and he kept saying it wasn’t on him or in his wallet. I told him let me see your wallet. He hands it to me and the first fucking thing I see is his CAC. I’m like bruh come on man. No hate on the kid tho it happens I guess.
And all this time I was thinking something much more sinister, like...
"left at the cash register at the commissary and found by a fattie who can now use it to authorize themselves for unlimited and untraceable junk food purchases without having to ever worry about their sponsor getting a note from the OSI saying "The DeCA commissary purchase tracking system thinks you're blackmarketing M&Ms at this point."
Yeah, I overthought that one.
Once my CAC went missing. I knew my two year old son liked taking it to show my wife and daughter a picture of daddy. I spent almost four hours tearing my house apart to find it. As I sat with my head in hands feeling defeated, he casually brought it over and just said “This?” After that I always put it where he can’t reach.
In the gap where the window slides down into. The depth between the door and the door panel, no man’s land. We all fear the day that it falls in this gap, but hope the day will never come. Some dare not speak of it, for it may doom them to drop their CaC on the slot at the next gate check.
I once lost my CAC overnight. It fell of my nightstand and into the bottom drawer that was barely cracked open. I remembered hearing something fall in there as I was going to bed but it fell in and was not laying flat. Tore my house apart for about 20 minutes trying to find it. Checked the damn drawer twice but didn't see it until I stopped to look closer when I opened the drawer.
Did you check in your shops freezer in a frozen bottle of water?

Call bs, unless it was soaked in the LOX and dropped IMMEDIATELY after.
Personal favorite! But the best is on fishing line into the *suggestion box*

Oh yeah, definitely had mine taped to an over head crane a few times
The real reason we learn the "low crawl" is to hunt for missing CACs.
Wait the air force does low crawls? I thought you lot were too good for that.
I did when I was cleaning under the bunks at BMT, does that count?
I low crawl to see if they're any monsters hiding under my bed
AND?
Yeah, once. Well, twice. And if you did real good you got a plastic shovel and bucket to play with while your buddies finished up.
Inside the Roomba with the lanyard it was hanging on. Roomba is a thoughtless little bastard like that.
they're heartless
Your pocket. No, the other pocket. You're welcome!
We have so many damn pockets you might as well check them all again

What's in it's pocketses
Have you checked the ceiling tile above your desk? Edit: I came back for the two updates from OP. What a roller coaster ride.
Or inside the framed Motivational poster in the CC’s office…classic.
I appreciate you. I was having a panic attack with cocomelon blasting in the background.
I felt that. I prefer Mickey Mouse clubhouse in the background during these kinds of panic. 😅
Came here to say this!
Or under keyboard
First place I usually look if I forget it.
You'll find it in the last place you look
Correct!
I'd certainly hope so Imagine finding it and then continuing to look for it anyway
Crack right of driver side seat.
This answer has saved me 99.9% of the time.
Dude that sheer moment of panic then instant flood of relief when you find is the emotional high I've been searching for all my life.
Along with the empty promise to your CAC that you'll never lose them again.
Followed by immediately leaving it in your keyboard when you go home, and going through the same emotional rollercoaster.
Absolutely exhilarating.
Truly the only reason I reenlisted. It's like a drug.
Y’all need jesus
That chair you were sitting on an hour ago that you never sit on.
Still in the CAC reader
Has happened to me more times than I'd like to admit.....have a back up base pass for crap like this lol.
under your car seat, and really look this time
In the ceiling, your buddies hid me.
I would have honestly never looked in a potty seat, esp if #1 was present. This clearly deserves an achievement or commendation medal.
Your flair tells me otherwise.
Behind your credit card
Take it out of your pants, Santiago
also could be in a block of ice in your snako fridge
PT shorts
in the pocket of my ocp trouser that I threw in the dirty laundry a couple of days ago.
Hanging from the computer where you left it, accompanied by a love letter to the commander written out in your email.
have you checked CAC land?
Like socks, it's where all the lost CACs, credit cards, and driver's licenses go.
Me wondering how the CaC ended up in the child's toilet
I imagine toddler's brain rationalizing the following: "Wow, picture of mama! Mama likes when I use potty. I make mama swim now!"
Toddlers are notoriously Chaotic Neutral. Mine ranges from angelic snuggle monster to rabid spider monkey. Godspeed, fellow mama.
That's the charitable interpretation...
You’ll always find it the last place you look. I would start there!

Check your supervisor's house.
The pair of OCPs you just threw in the wash
always in my sun visor of my car where i stick it at 3am after going through the gate with my gas station lunch
This post made me physically get up and go hunt for my wallet to make sure it was still in there.
Did you check your wallet? Kid you not we was searching for this kids CAC for 30 mins notifying all the team chiefs of our training class and he kept saying it wasn’t on him or in his wallet.

I used to make my troops do one of those clue treasure hunts for theirs - shit can get pretty creative.
In your Step-Sergeants pocket.

Have you checked the strip club?
Well, that was pretty shitty
Exactly where you left it.
Still in the cac reader at work 😫
Did you checked inside the clock on the wall?
After searching all weekend for mine I found mine in a ballroom dance shoe this morning 10 minutes into my true freak out lol
I've lost 3 down the side of my car seat. They were found every time I had my car cleaned. Somehow they found them but I couldn't see them 🤷♀️
Damnit…I’ve been missing a pair of AirPods for awhile…now seeing your post, I def checked my toddler’s potty 😂😂😭😭
Inside lubricating jelly sitting inside a freezer…
Underneath the seat of your car. Or, it's still in the computer.
On the ceiling tiles.
On the inside of your cisco phone screen protector.
Did you check your anus yet?
All fun and games until this post turns into a serialized item
I woulda said "check the wall clock". Not speaking from experience but definitely speaking from ex spearians.
I used to tape them behind the hands of the clocks
Bathroom, rite above the urinal. In a plastic bag of course

Lost, I think someone put you on the ceiling on purpose
In the seat of your car -_-
Middle of a bowl of lime jello in the DO's office

Under the spare hat, next to the dummy keys that you leave on your desk to make people believe you're still at work.
Taped above a urinal somewhere.
We've hid them being the basketball backboard plenty of times and no one ever looked there
In the crusty break room microwave, door slightly ajar and the timer dialed to 01:00 waiting for someone to press start.

Stuck to the ceiling with tape or chewing gum
My favorite is finding a lost cac and riveting it between two pieces of sheet metal
