One of the things ya'll probably don't realize about the 1033 program is that a lot of the stuff is in mixed lots.

Like, for example, say you see 20 pairs of boots in a lot. Well you put in for that lot, but it also comes with the camo netting, some boxing gloves, and some excercise equipment. Well you can't tell them "Hey, we just want the boots", you are getting shipped the whole lot.

Except that DRMO lots are generally of the same general kinds of things. You won't get radar scattering nets with boxing gloves, just like you won't get M4s and Dell notebooks in the same lots.
