One note:

Oswald qualified in USMC basic training as 'Sharpshooter' with a score of 216. He was two points from 'Expert'. Later, in the fleet he shoot pizza box then went Unq.

Oswald's boot camp marksmanship score places him ahead of 99% of the American shooting public.

Graduated Parris Island July 15, 1964 ... approximately 8 months after JFK's assassination in Dallas. Memories were fresh back in those days ... and Oswald shot marksman. I shot sharpshooter at PI and expert 15 months later at Camp Lejeune, NC. Rifle qualification was supposed to be a annual event, but commitments across the Corps made scheduling difficult.
