I did a remote tour in Greece well in the Air Force, our Maintenance Supervisor was a women. Due to some screw-ups and misaligned priorities by the thieves in supply at our so called "Support base" and general mismanagement of personnel and materials about 1/2 way through this tour of duty the newbies coming in weren't qualified on the .38. The solution was to run all through training and start using M-9s. Our Maintenance Supervisor didn't have enough strength in her wrists to point the pistol UP and rack the slide to chamber a round. Then the Greeks decided we couldn't use their range. Ended up putting a GAU-5 in the command post and insuring each shift was scheduled with at least one person qualified on the .38 and at least 1 qualified on the GAU-5. I was qualified on both so depending on the shift I could be signed for one or two pistols or one pistol and the GAU-5.
Of course the Air Force topped itself when they sent me to Saudi for Desert Shield, I wasn't really qualified with anything (Qual expired), but was kind of 1/2 way legal on a .38, so they sent me with a .38, but they didn't have any .38 ammo so they gave me 18 rounds of 5.56.
