No worries!

Downrange = Conducting Tables of Fire 1-6 and CPP Table 1 in the entry-level pipeline. Tables 1-6 include KD long and short range day/night, UKD long and short range day at night, etc. Gross oversimplification, I apologize!

They had one day training prior to doing live fire. MCMAP was deemed more important, and they took more time from the marksmanship phase. There was a huge increase in unqualified Marine Officers, and a huge number that can't be considered anywhere near proficient with a weapon. It's not their fault, but this is how this BS perpetuates itself. This is their introduction to the program, and they will think this is what 'right' looks like for some time to come.

It's okay. If they can't shoot, and can't use radios, then they'll need that vertical bayonet slash, good to go?
