Double expert for 18 yrs, one yr I was the Range Safety Officer, and didn’t get to shoot till the last relay. Took a weapon from the rack uncalibrated, took 3 rounds of Maggies’ Drawers before I could find the hit off target. then show a high Sharpshooter.
Besides, the Sharpshooter Badge looks so much more impressive than the Expert except for those in the know.
Met lots of Distinguished Shooters since I got out though.
I still drive by young Marines walking with 4”-6” flash suppressors on their M16s today. A different Corps.
