Now, this man is a RIFLEMAN!

Only dropped two points, and he's upset at himself for dropping them. Definitely an American rifleman. :F :snipersmi
I think I feel personally attacked about the comments around iron sights. I suppose it doesn't matter, though - this man sounds like he can outshoot most of us, including myself. O0
anyone have any ideas what is going on with the sling in the prone picture?
sort of looks like a two point rapid adjust but wrapped around the mag??
Photo Op. Ignore it.
This has better "in-action" pics of other recruits.

> Ferrell said he had heard plenty of recruits bragging about how good of a shot they were before his platoon's time on the range, but he opted to remain quiet.
Classy :)
> Instead of hitting black with each shot he spent his time getting to know the rifle, focusing on getting tight groupings before adjusting his rifle combat optic.
Hey that sounds familiar...
Urrrah!
That's really something when you consider the recruit depots get the worst of the Marine Corps' leftovers when it comes to gear, and that cleaning rifles to death is the Marine Corps' idea of daycare.
Think I might have an orange hat hanging around Private Ferrell's name on it for when the time is right.
