Ammo missing from Bragg....

[Mr.1904]

I read somewhere that the army is tightassed when it comes to ammo for training , something like 50 rds a year vs Marines virtually unlimited ammo supply.

I bet that ammo is sitting in boxes marked Xe now.

That is completely backwards. When it comes to resources, marines are like the step child. Army always gets all the sweet ****, when marines get the hand me downs. It's funny, at the end of the fiscal year around october the base (pendleton) goes completely quiet. and as soon as the next fiscal year starts is Boom, BOOM, *shaking*, Boom (used to live out the back gate)

I work with a guy in the Army Reserve and they shoot only enough to get zeroed from the rested prone position...

14k rounds is a good amount for a single individual, but its just a really fun weekend or two for a dozen buddies. The reporter must not know much about guns to think this was at all important.
