Well, I did some shooting today—don’t worry it was on the range. Every so often, we have to re-qualify on the range. I did fairly well will with my rifle. In Ft. Jackson, the Army issued me a bent, decrepit M-16 that must have been used as a crow bar at some point. The soldiers refer to it as my “musket”. They all carry M-4 carbines with laser sights and other cool toys. Anyway, I hit 35 out of 40 targets. (Translated, that means 5 whitetails that would have gotten away)
I then got to shoot my 9mm pistol. I have never shot with my left hand before, but even with that handicap, I shot 40 out of 40 targets. “Well, he is a pilot and they only carry pistols, so he should be good” True, but I didn’t have the heart to tell them that I fired a total of maybe 20 rounds from a pistol the entire 17 years I’ve been in the Navy . I also got to shoot an AK-47—it was fun little gun to shoot. Good thing it has a lot of bullets since they tend to go everywhere.
