$25,000 worth of corn hole sets with the Army logo, that's the tailgating game usually played with a beer in one hand, $8,000 worth of weights ... and a $30,000 expandable paintball arena. It sounds like the ultimate dream fraternity house setup - but they're actually items purchased by federal government agencies in the month of September just days before the end of the Fiscal Year.
