You are an expert shot with a M14. Someone else declared that Oswald was an expert marksman.
According to the Marine website:
#1 Expert
#2 Sharpshooter
#3 Marksman
Oswald was a below average shot with a crappy gun.

“Oswald was a below average shot with a crappy gun.”
That is a blatant lie.

I think you, 0811 and I are on the same page. See my Post #81.
I would say that during Rifle Qualifications, Oswald probably got a lot of “Maggie’s Drawers.”

You can be an "expert marksman" as a general description, but you can't be both an Expert and a Marksman in the Marine Corps. Two distinct classes.

BS. Even if Oswald was only a Marksman in boot camp (and I think he was actually a Sharpshooter) - 1) he re-qualified at least two or three more times during his tour; 2) he was not below average (Marksman is average); 3) if you haven't been through Parris Island, then you don't have a clue how good even a Marksman can shoot.
The closest a Marine gets to a target is 200 yards, then moves back to 300 yards, then back again to 500 yards. No scopes allowed.
Oswald was less than a 100 yards from JFK and he had a scope.
