You are likely right, unless good booze could be considered a class 6a, medical consumable?Don't you mean the Class 6? Class 8 is medical. I was a medical supply officer.
The 10 classes of supply:
Class I: Subsistence. Includes issued foods, drinking water, and health & comfort items. (The items in Class I can also be found in Class VI.)
Class II: Clothing and equipment.
Class III: Petroleum, oils and lubricants
Class IV: Construction materials to support military programs. (Those last four words are critical to separating Class IV and Class X.)
Class V: Munitions. Ammo, bombs, explosives, mines, fuzes and detonators, pyro, missiles and rockets, propellant, and anything else that goes bang.
Class VI: Personal demand items sold in military exchanges.
Class VII: Major end items such as vehicles or aircraft
Class VIII: Medical materiel, including repair parts unique to medical equipment
Class VIIIa: Medical consumables not including blood or blood products
Class VIIIb: Blood products
Class IX: Repair parts
Class X: Materiel to support nonmilitary programs
For REAL entertainment, an item can exist in more t
In the Marines we just called it the exchange or the liquor store.
