LTC (Join to see) Sir I've been there and done that. It is very disconcerting when you are getting black on ammo. It only took one time for that to happen for me to have me to carry at least 10 magazines and have extra loaded magazines in each truck. I was never going to have that feeling happen to me or my troops again.
