Even when on guard duty you weren’t issued ammo. We were told to have the MPs do the shooting. permalink save report block reply ▲ 6 ▼ – carlodagunz 6 points 95 days ago +6 / -0 These guys aren't on guard duty or on a base. permalink parent save report block reply ▲ 1 ▼ – Bundabar 1 point 95 days ago +1 / -0 We would travel between bases in Texas and surrounding states for exercises. permalink parent save report block reply ▲ 2 ▼ – DefenderDad 2 points 95 days ago +2 / -0 Well no shit. 249 with live rounds is a crew serve and a bitch to do. If they are traveling with ammo, it probably isn’t loaded right now. The risk of misfire before mission go time would fuck up any major coordination. You and I both know that you don’t give live ammo to privates until you’re sure you want holes in everything in that area. permalink parent save report block reply
