My dad has told me stories of men getting killed in Vietnam because they were fumbling their empty magazines back into their belt pouches. He said it took him a few months of concentrated effort under fire to Unlearn that habit. The Marines apparently train you to hold onto your magazines during reloading.
I watched my brother shooting my AR while he was getting ready for his USMC Reserve rifle quals earlier this year. He would do the same thing, unload the mag, and go to put it in his belt pouch. It really threw him off not having all the proper gear ready.
I can relate many flying stories of Training kicking in: Sometimes good, sometimes not so good. One time I was practicing emergency procedures and actually flipped the mags off, killing the engine. Whoops.
Under stress you will function how you were trained, good or bad.
