I'm sorry you mentioned the Navy so now I have to tell my son's stories. My son shot a pistol in boot camp and they had to do it by steps. Stand in front of the weapon. Place your hand on the weapon. Pick up the weapon. Bring the weapon to the target. Fire one round. And then another command to fire the next and then the next.

My son rented a house so he brought his toys where he was stationed. A grizzly old Gunny asked my son what he owned and my kid said a 1911A1, a 12 gauge Bennelli and a M1A. The gunny asked my son if he wanted to marry his daughter.

My son was sent to the Middle East to be part of the embargo against Iraq and the next thing I know instead of working as a Electrical Technician he was boarding ships with a 12 gauge. He would grab a 12 gauge, extra ammo, M9 and extra ammo, a radio, a flak jacket and for the last thing, he had to wear a life jacket in case he fell out of the RIB boat. Yeah, right. That would do a lot of good.

He had a job interview after he left the service and he was asked if he worked good with multi-nationals, his comment under his breath was, "I held them at gunpoint".
