I have a lousy Marksman badge for the M-14 but have an Expert badge for tank gunnery. Too bad I don’t have a tank in my gun safe,
I learned driver and loader. The NG unit was disbanded and I went back to Naval Reserves.
That brings back topsy-turvy memories...in USMC Boot Camp (1966) during our two weeks at the range I could run Expert one day, and Marksman two days later...with a Non-qual in between....and then go back to expert.
Ended up Sharpshooter, IIRC. But at the end of my enlistment I Non-qualed and didn't give enough of a sh*t to try again. In those days, we all wanted OUT more than anything; there were no "lifers" in 1968.
