Please tell me that's not how the military is taught to shoot a pistol...

I understand the isosceles triangle with armor, but the rest of him is a train wreck. Leaned back, barely supporting the gun, huge gap between the web of his thumb and forefinger and the beaver tail.

Yuck.

But look how stiff and purdy his no-starch uniform meant to imitate dirty-ass nature is. Bet his OER is stellar.

You guys are funny What is OER?

Do you think the 'crats in the unit got to shoot the guns first?

Officer Evaluation Report. NCO's receive an NCOER. It's basically just a way to say "you did these things well. improve on these other things." Or, to utterly tank someone's career if they didn't do something well.

"The specific performance improvements from [the M17 and M18] over the M9 include better accuracy, tighter dispersion, and better ergonomics, which combined result in a far more lethal pistol." says Lt Col. Steven Power.

Far more lethal?! I guess.

Truth is, the adoption of JHPs to go with the pistol will actually make it more lethal.

The Hague agreement is just silly.

Thank you.

We used to think of them as "Where do I fit on the curve of mediocrity?" Everyone knew that if you didn't slide to the high side, your career was sliding to the civilian side.

Does everyone still follow the Army Times (service papers) to see the cut off scores for your MOS? I would hope there was a website or something more modern than picking up the Times just to check the cut-offs to see if you should change your MOS or give up on the idea of being promoted while you still had teeth.
