In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

I used to call that person "Airman They" or "Sergeant They."
As in:
"They told me it was okay to do this."
"They said I didn't need to turn my stuff in."
"They said we were getting forward deployed for R&R cruise ship security in the Caribbean."
I really wanted to kick They's ass several times in my career.
Experience is a cruel teacher, gives the exam first and then the lesson.
One of my last acts before going to a training unit to retire; I've got an E-6 who's way out of control.
He flipped a tank, nearly killing one of the crewman. I said right there, that guy aint right. His wife leaves him, he takes up with a deployed Soldiers wife. They go on a bender and he shoots here three times with a 30-30 and kills her.

I think later in GWOT that may be true, but early on? I dunno. I know many guys who never touched a sidearm...dates of service from 2002 all the way to 2012. My best friend and business partner was given a SAM-R with a Leupold 2.5-8x and that was it for his two tours. He said the first time he handled a sidearm was training at MARSOC.

I was a maintenance contractor, we were not to have an issued weapon.
Oddly enough on my recovery missions there was always an extra.
