Those charges include Internet dating services, iPods, expensive clothing, a $13,500 dinner and lingerie to be worn during jungle training in Ecuador, the study said.

Well, even with this kind of abuse, giving gov't employees the freedom to use credit cards is still probably better than paying $500 for a hammer through a government contracted supplier.

It's sure as hell better for the Airman First Class going TDY for two weeks.  I remember making $9K a year and having to submit my expenses to finance.  Three weeks later I get the money back.   Disgusted

Yeah but for every A1C that uses the card as directed, you probably had just as many A1C's abusing the cards.  11 years active AF.  Worked in investigations for awhile.  Too many stories to tell.

I don't doubt it.  Not for a second. 

But I sure as hell could have used one.  Floating the richest nation on earth for weeks at a time put a serious dent in my mojo.  Besides, I was a good airman.  Angel

It seems my employer has 4 accountants for each employee with a purchasing card. I wouldn't even be able to sneak a cup of coffee past.
