Navy small arms training consisted of one day firing Garands when I was in bootcamp. Before shipping out to Nam we were given 2 days at Pendleton firing M14s, 1911s, M16s and Remington 870s. Oh yeah and throwing a few grenades. When I got to Nam I had to learn to use the M60, M79 and Ma Deuce on the job. The only good shots in Nam in the Navy learned at home like I did. God help you if you are relying on a Navy Shore Party to save your a$$. 90% of sailors are totally clueless. And so what. It’s not like they ram and board any more.
At the link the photo of all the workers gathered around the crime scene are people of pallor.These thugs are biting the hand that feeds them.
I was one of four or five out of sixty in my company who qualified with a Garand at 200 yards in boot camp in 1962. We spent one day at the range, forty rounds for practice and then forty rounds to qualify. I had never fired a rifle other than a bolt action, seven shot, Remington Scoremaster .22 but I put fifteen out of sixteen in the bullseye at 200 yards firing prone and rapid fire. The one guy who outshot me was a fellow from New Jersey with coke bottle lenses and a genius IQ who looked like anything but a shooter. He said he learned by going to an NRA range with his father on weekends.
