He is one sorrya a** human.
“he doesn’t even have a marksmanship badge at all”
I wonder how long he was in? That means every six months for his whole career he bolo’d? Or maybe he bolo’d his last trip to the range and lost it?
It ain’t easy to get Expert, but it also ain’t easy to bolo.
I was never in the military, but isn’t that a crime?
Out of curiosity, can you use an optic or are the badges based solely on iron sights shooting?
My DD214 lists my “expert” with my M-16 and “marksman” with the .45.
I can’t imagine that someone could be in any kind of military and not be required to qualify.
At least no-balls Walz is consistent.

*************************
I don’t know how it is now, but in 69 when I qualified Expert, it was just sights.
Let me add, if my memory serves me well.
For me always expert and always open sights, in basic it was even a worn out AR-15.
Be careful with assumptions.
The info may not be available, but any/all soldiers must have marksman | sharpshooter | expert. You don’t get out of basic otherwise.
One of those three are in his records... somehwhere.
I know a Marine who holds the Quantico Range Record for iron sights on the M-14, 36 straight bullseyes at 300 yards!
I can barely even see the bullseye at 300 yards!
Skilled at shooting through a glory hole.
They were all worn out in basic.
I went through basic in '83. My M-16 was Vietnam era.
Probably worn out before it got to Ft. Dix.
Worn out AR-15.
______________
Feeling a bit old right now. I had the M-14 in basic and the first rifle I was issued in VN. I actually liked that rifle.
What’s not to like...:)
Harris and Walz- both phonies…
The people of Minnasota should be embarrassed ,to have this fag /Pedo as their Governor .
Action is open Tim.
