"I remember that from the army back at bragg- but there were a couple of guys in my platoon who always carried a couple of stripper clips in a cargo pocket. I wonder if the some of the EMs will start making that a practice, regardless of what the chain of command says"

Good way to get someone killed. That's why the chain of command CHECKS to make sure someone doesn't pull some boneheaded stunt. 11B10's - they're great Americans and wonderful kids, but a little adult supervision from a wizzened and wise NCO is always called for.

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.
