In the Navy we practiced hitting the ocean with a .50 Caliber machine gun.

In Air Force Basic, we practiced putting our hands up when the piece of crap M-16 jammed on the .22LR conversion for the tenth time in 27 rounds.

They didn’t trust us to clear the jams. Given some of the guys I was shooting with, they were right not too. I had more rounds in my target than what I was given to shoot.

If I remember correctly, some of the sailors I have known would have missed the target. Marksmanship was not a priority in the USN.
