[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3356538, member: 5412"] The Army of my day made you proficient in firearms. The Army of 20 years ago ,like the person in question said he was, I don't know how their training with firearms went. I do know the training of the Army reserves in recent years is woefully lacking. They only get 40 rounds a year to qualify, and that's typically just a bang bang, and your qualified. We have a unit of Army Reservists come to our range to bivouac annually and do their qualifications. Some newbs can't even figure out what direction to load the magazine in. By the end of the weekend, they get many more than 40 rounds as well as more knowledgeable and proficient. I'm not going to point fingers at anyone that caused that lack of training because I don't know. Just relating real time what I do know. [/QUOTE]
