Ok, the cheapest company that I worked for was the Canadian Forces back in the late 80's eary 90's.

I remember that half the time we would let trucks go past their expected maintenance because we didn't have the budget for parts and fluids.

We regularly cancelled excercises due to lack of budget.

My final excercise before we left I was working with a bunch of raw recruits. We reported to the ammo truck to get our load out of blank rounds. For a one week combat excercise I received 5 clips for a total of 150 rounds. When your playing in the field and simulating combat you pretty well burn through that in one or two engagements. I asked where the resupply point was when myself and my recruits ran out of ammo and I was told that was it for the week, if you ran out you should yell "Bang" really loudly.

I loved serving but that really accelerated me leaving.
