That's what I was wondering. In the Army, the guns in the arms room
are inventoried by serial number daily. I have to admit I don't open
my safe daily to inventory my weapons.

We were not that tight on the ship. We did a count once a week when we
were doing magazine temperatures. I am not sure they ever did a serial
number verification. I know they were logged in but I doubt anyone was
actually worrying about the serial numbers of the ones on the rack as
long as the count was right.

You probably didn't have a dedicated armorer whose job it was to
inventory and repair weapons. We had an armorer at the company level.

Yup, still one there.
