This last Saturday my son, his two best buddies, the recruiting Sgt. and his co-recruiter (also Sgt.), and two of his fresh prospects all joined together at the Richmond Rod and Gun Club.
Recruiters don't get to shoot much...and if they get stationed in California(bay area)..they cant even bring their own weapons into the state.
The kids he brought along hadn't fired weapons in years.
I brought my 2 AR-15's, a Rem700 PSS sniper rifle(trick), 2 H&K USP compact .45UCP's and a ruger 10/22.
I supplied the ammo for all of us. That would be 8 people.
We clipped through 1k of .223, 400rds of .45, and 120 rds of .308...not to mention a brick of rim.
As to the recruiters: their fresh prospects were treated to a day of ripp'en fun.
I extended an open invitation to the recruiters that if they have some guys on the fence...and they want jazz em up a bit...give me a call. I will more than happy to supply all ammo and pay for range fees...no problem.
When the day was over I gave the both Sgt.'s each two(4) fresh caught and cooked crabs I had pulled (from pots) on Friday.
WHAT A FINE DAY
I myself didn't shoot much: I was packing clips all day for 'My' guests. My freaking fingers were shreaded.
Very nice story. Thanks for sharing, and especially thanks for looking out for the recruiters. I take it your son is either signing up or considering it? Which service?
That's a great recruiting method!
