Everything you posted is conjecture at this point. You have idea what the facts are, but the bottom line is the storage company would be an idiot to think anyone in the Navy could or would be authorizing the sale of personal belongings in a personal storage locker.
Sheese.

What he has contributed is fact regarding the military personal property procedures. I store the personal prperty of thousands of service members and can attest to such. The service member wouldn't be authorizing the sale, the Joint Personal Property Shipping Office would - at the end of the non-temp storage entitlement listed on the applicable 1299 form, the JPPSO would contact the service member to determine their status and then issue a storage extension or convert it to member's expense. The JPPSO issues the orders to the storage providers - they said to sell it, end of story. Moving companies cnnot arbitrariy decide to continue holding personal property for an indefinite duration - it costs resources and makes no sense - if JPPSO says to store it, it is stored, if not, why hold it?
And you base your opinion on what, exactly?
