Well...I grew up shooting rifles in the Desert of AZ and qualified as an Expert in the 9mm. And went to a special school that teaches one how to use a compass and a map...do I still need to go to your FT. Jackson?
...maybe to make the Soldiers look bad, I guess!


And....I never had a single Sailor knock on my CHU door in Iraq asking if I had seen their rifle as they held up a picture of it!

:aetsch:
But...I still love you anyways. In spite of....heheheheheheheh.
WOAH, expert with the 9mm... watch out now LMAO! My 11 year old nephew can do that too

Yes, you would still need to go through the school:aetsch:
"
Curriculum at McCrady includes basic combat skills. The three week course is not designed to build Army
infantrymen since even for Army personnel a significant amount of training occurs not in
Basic Combat Training but in the experience of years on the job. Instead, the program is designed to teach individuals assigned to Army units the basic skills required to stay alive should the worst scenario occur. In keeping with this, topics covered in the training include basic
marksmanship (Navy and Air Force personnel must qualify on the same course of fire as Army personnel), combat
first aid, land
navigation,
urban operations and an introduction to Army culture. Perhaps most important is training in
convoy and counter-
IED operations since these subjects are crucial to survival in Afghanistan and Iraq.

It's important to note that the vast majority of Navy and Air Force Individual Augmentees are assigned to
combat support or
combat service support roles, and only a small percentage of Individual Augmentees have seen combat.
[4] While some
risk exposure in a war zone is inevitable, most joint commands in Iraq and Afghanistan have specific controls in place to limit the exposure of personnel who are not trained for such high risk operations."
You guys just don't get the training needed to perform basic SOLDIER skills:dontknow: It's not my fault, so don't get pissy with me:elefant: :elefant: :elefant:
