During my Basic @ FT Knox, the only time weapons came out of the arms room was for BRM week. Since then, I believe the Army has returned to embedding Soldiers and their rifles throughout training. Imagine that, train like you fight...you have to keep up with them and keep them serviceable in the combat zone 24/7.

Stanley Kubrick's intent with of Full Metal Jacket was to highlight the dehumanization of normal people during training and combat. I never noticed how dark the movie was until after I had been in for a few years. Now I find it kind of sad.
