One technique I used to use to meet people was at chow to always set with NCOs from other units. Strike up a conversation, perhaps causally mention my unit needed "concentina wire"as an example. Perhaps find out what that unit needs.
Most folks in the sandbox (Big Army, Marines, contractors, etc) realize we are all on the same team. If I can help you out,at some point you can help me out.

You got that right. Try to help out another unit that might have extra ammo. Unit patches, coins, or just a few extra hands around the shop helping go a long way. You wouldn't believe the boxes of things we've flown on missions for people and how much they are willing to help you out in a pinch.
