My point was that if you had been on active duty, you could have re-qualed to overcome that pesky weapon jamming. But you did later say it was ROTC, so that explains it.
My brother was much better than I was on the range. He always ranked as Expert throughout his time. He could shoot that's for sure.
The ROTC program in high school kept me out of trouble and taught me a lot of leadership and survival skills. We had to learn for example how to do an Aussie repel off a fire tower and that's difficult to say the least. But it was fun after I got over it.
