We didn't really have guard duty, we had fire watch.
I remember my first night there I saw a guy wearing a cartridge belt
walking around and thinking he was a guard. My first thought was "I
could take that guy".
A couple nights later I was wearing the cartridge belt and walking
around ;-)

Same thick with air force. They explained making you wear the cartridge
belt made you under arms and more liable if you screw up.

There were not any live rounds on our side of the base and our drill
rifles did not have firing pins in them. I am not quite sure what arms
we were under. ;-)

We had the belt. That was all.

We wore the belt, canteen, ammo pouches and toted a real M-14...but no ammo.

This was a 2 hour fire watch in the barracks. There was a water
fountain in the hall and if we were going to carry anything it
probably should have been a fire extinguisher. ;-)

I was walking around a PX.

We never did that sort of thing. It must an Army thing.
I would think a .45 or a M9 would be a better choice inside a PX.
I guess if you didn't have any ammo the M-14 is a better club. ;-)

This was 'around' the exterior of the PX, not inside. When it was open there was no guard there.
