Just regulations, Ma'am.....
Sounds as if you might be shanghied eligible for joining the Crew, not-so-humblegunner..:)))
By the way, a few years ago I won an SKS with a single $5 raffle ticket to benefit Veterans.
(Fitting for a Marine..:))
It so happened it is too heavy for me to use for personal defense (problem with neuropathy in my hands), and there happened to be a fellow at work who wanted it.
He had just been discharged from the Corps and convinced his wife and father to spring $300 for it for his birthday that week.
I in turn (although it was my birthday, too) sent the $300 to my son attending the School of Medicine at the University of Florida.
God Provides!
