Every Marine a Rifleman

It is one of the core tenets of the Marine Corp.

It is time for Lisa to requalify so as of last Wednesday she has been spending most of her day on the rifle range. She will be there this whole coming week as well. In general Marine's have to requalify every year.

There are three levels that can be earned. The lowest is Marksman, than Sharpshooter and finally Expert. Lisa qualified as Sharpshooter during her basic training even though her score suffered on one set of tests because her rifle jammed. Even with that she finished second in her platoon. She is hoping to move up to expert but said she is not sure as the wind has been very strong, making it hard to calculate the drift on the longer shots.

I will write more later.
