A long while ago I stated remembering that the Army kept us, arms and ammunition well separated unless we were actually on the range and going shooting.
I misremembered something.
The ammo racks of the tanks were loaded with war-shot ammo unless we were going to the range for gunnery. I also recall, now, removing all that ammo from the tank before going to Graf and experiencing my first round of being responsible in the paperwork for anything at all thanks to my minty new stripes on one of those trips.
Literally nothing but discipline keeping us from loading up an APFSDSDU round and picking a target.
Come to think on it, literally nothing but self control keeping us from firing up a tank and rolling out the gate with it too.
The Army did make us dismount all three machine guns and keep them in the arms room. Ammo for the MG's was kept in the bunkers a longish ways away.
Same same for our pistols and the tank's M16.
