EVERY Marine spends two weeks at the Range, every year.

Not exactly ... I served 3 years active and qualified twice ... Parris Island the first time (high Sharpshooter) ... some 18 months later at Lejeune (Expert).

I qualified three times in four years. The most memorable
was Jan 1991, Inchon range Parris Island. Shot expert too.

The fourth year they made me a coach, so i didn't get to shoot.

"Not exactly ...'

Same here. I was in seven and a half years. I qualified Sharpshooter in boot camp and Expert the following four years. The last three years was spent on independent duty at a recruiting station. While on independent duty you are exempt from annual rifle & pistol qualification.
