Er, nice try, i was in the military for 6 years. Was an 11B trained at Ft benning and then did a 10 week 91B school (before they became 91W) at Ft. Sam Texas. Because of my medical education i also worked with the 3SFG (thats Special Forces Group for you new folk) and consulted with their training program.

My primary was infantry in a MOUT unit, i also received my qualifications in Air Assault and Pathfinding school as well as being Airborne certified. I was NCOIC Medical in a the 11th ACR's 1/221Cav A-troop and spent much time with them.

So, i can tell you with 100% certainty that no 60-gunner would ever be issued a rifle... ever... never... not gonna happen... Even in combat you gotta have gear accountability. I couldnt issue out an M203 as a medic despite the need for a support weapon on our vehicle, nor could we equip the vehicle, even during combat.

Please get your facts straight before you tell me how the military works.
