I went thru AF Basic in May of 1985 and we shot the .22 modified M-16's then as well. I remember not firing over five rounds before having a malfunction. We were not allowed for clear our problems. You stopped, raised your hand and waited for a CATM guy to come and clear it for you.
I didn't shoot actual 5.56 until I requalified before leaving to Iceland in 1988.
