From the GOA report http://www.gao.gov/assets/120/119629.pdf

A second seller living in Phenix City, Alabama, is employed as a civilian aircraft mechanic at Fort Benning, Georgia. She told us that she obtains military MREs from dumpsters at Fort Benning. She stated that she visits the dumpsters several times a week, removing unopened MREs from the dumpsters and cleaning, packaging, and mailing them to her eBay customers. According to sales data provided by eBay, from July 30, 2006, to February 6, 2008, this individual had completed approximately $54,000 in MRE auctions. Because of the volume of sales activity we referred this case to Army CID for criminal investigation.
