Quoted: Well, I am friends with the troop ammo handler, both the armorers, and the supply NCO. So we'll see what I can manage

You should do well, but I would never try to get more than what is needed, bartering is for the Supply guys to do among themselves, You can help them out, but never try to take them for a ride...
You and your's will lose big time in the long run.
I was the winner of a weeks extra duty for a Space Blanket, Something that was supposed to be in my aid bag, and a non-durable item, I got it from the supply guys, but it was just given to me when I asked for it...about 2 weeks later I had a butter bar ( who has been a butter bar for over 4 years) in my face saying I stole it. Lt wanted to hang my ass out to dry, but Sgt Maj. saved my young PFC azz, and then gave me a weeks worth of lessons on how to work the system. It was good and bad, First he saved my butt for anything bad going on paper, but I got real good at how the paper trail system works by doing all of his for the week, during that time he also show'd me how to get around all of it, and who would be trusted and worked with and who could not.
