when we went to the firing range, we had to check out our weapons/ammo from the armory and before we could leave the firing range, every bullet, shell casing and weapon had to be accounted for, if even one discrepancy is reported, then nobody left until the issue was resolved.

The only ones carrying on base were the MP's, all other weapons, including personal weapons, were required to be secured in the base armory.

The military has zero sense of humor when it comes to weapons on base.
