    Good to hear from you again Gachi. Not sure if you remember me mentioning a while back that I'd be down there as well?

    Graduated 19 Nov with 3rd Bn Lima Co. and am currently on boot leave, heading down to Geiger on Tuesday. MOS is 03xx.

    I have pics, just too lazy to upload.

    Congrats once again, Marine. How's it feel?
  • jkarate212jkarate212 November 2010
    Cant beat being apart of the largest brotherhoods there is. I'd definitely do it again. Although...I'm still pissed about the range qualification. I scored a 304...wtf.
  • GachiGachi November 2010
    Pfft, last range qual I shot a 302. It happens.
  • GovernorGovernor December 2010
    How do they grade the range qualification?
  • GachiGachi December 2010
    Two different shooting quals that are added up for a total score.

    Table 1 is known distance, 200 yds, 300yds, and 500 yds. Total score can be up to 250 points. 190-208 or 209 (I forget the actual, might even be 205) is Marksman, 210-219 is Sharpshooter and 220-250 is Expert. Table 2 is shooting faster, doing box drills, etc. More combat oriented. 100 points total, so when added up 250-279 is marksman, 280-304 is sharpshooter, and 305-350 is expert.

    Judging by the replies.... "close only counts in horse shoes, hand grenades, and the USAF"!

    We only qualify with 100 rounds. I shot 47.50 the last time I had to qualify. I would blame it on the drill instructor yelling at the kid next to me pointing the rifle across the range (dumbass) scaring the shit out of me, but I have noone to blame but myself.

    I do have to admit tho, I have had the opportunity to "play" with the AA-12 tho: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ebtj1jR7c
