Good way to get someone killed

Stripper clips in a pocket?

not suggesting we make that part of the TOE for a non-live fire exercise, but I don't think they're that much of a threat, either.

"Stripper clips in a pocket?"

Unfortunately yes. I have seen a soldier in a blank firing exercise with MILES, take a stripper clip with ball ammunition that he had squirred away on a live fire range, and load it into a magazine. Fortunately, someone saw him do this and called a cease fire. His explanation: "I forgot, I thought it was blank". Sierra happens. Be careful out there.
