40 out of 40 in basic training though very rare happens. 99.99% of Drill Sergeants never shot 40 out of 40 in qualifying.
Back in 1983 when Grenada was heating up and I was on Drill Sergeant status, word came down to re-qualify all battalion members and support personnel on the rifle range. The 2 best marksman were to be candidates for sniper school. Well the best two turned out to be the chaplain and myself a medic, both scoring a perfect 40 out of 40. LOL
That put our battalion commander in an embarrassing position with the brigade commander in explaining how seasoned infantry soldiers couldn’t out score support soldiers. Afterwards all infantry personnel were given remedial marksmanship classes for the following weeks.
Grenada was over quickly and no one ended up going to sniper school from our brigade.
A recruit scoring 40 out of 40 would be given an atta-boy. If he/she continues scoring perfectly they would be candidates for the military marksmanship teams.
Oh BTW as a Drill I promised any of my recruits that scored 40 out of 40, Sunday breakfast in their bunk that I would personally serve.
CORRECTION: Originally I posted that it was Panama that was heated up. My mistake, I meant to say Grenada. Thank you Jay Wen.
