Just returned from my first range assignment.

Our unit was tasked with running the rifle and sidearm ranges so 300+ CA National Guard troops could get qualified. (I was assigned to the M4 range.)

We coached those that needed help zeroing - Both with iron sights and CCO's.

One story in particular:

New troop. Obviously very little time behind the trigger. Not even on paper after the first few mags.

Quickly taught the basics of proper position / grip / trigger reset / breathing.

On target and zero'd just in time to qualify.

We count his hits - 23.

He makes the qualification and is grinning bigger than ear to ear.

Made me pretty proud of him.

He listened and did exactly as he was told - And passed.

The next day I was given the same opportunity -

Shot "Expert" per US Army guidelines. Not bragging - Just a fact.

If you are like me and missed your opportunity to serve due to age -

Look into the CSMR.

Very rewarding to serve and support -

I'm thankful for the numerous opportunities and rewarding experiences...

HOOAH !!!
