    Congrats Marine!
    Live ammo! I never shot the blanks at OCS, I just gave them to my buddy Charlie so I'd have less to clean. I wonder what my wife would say if she found me washing the Quigley crap out of my rifle in the shower?

    Conrats CD, nice job! We're gonna miss you on the range this year. But what you're doing now is waaaay more important.

    Take care of your men and they will take care of you. Stay safe Lt.

    According to my Platoon Commander, 1 hour IS sufficient time to get a rifle inspection-clean after firing 100 blanks and dragging it around the field for 3 days.

    Also, dust in the barrel is enough to obstruct a projectile.

    Who knew I would learn so much in the Marine Corps!

    Congrats man! It was a pleasure shooting with you at GTA last year.

    Hope to see you again in the future.

    Stay safe!

    Anyhow, thanks for all you've all taught me as instructors, AIs, fellow shooters, and those that have organized the events I've attended. Hopefully I'll be able to find the time every now and again to show my face back on those OH ranges.
