Ba'ges?! We don' got no Ba'ges!
In the AF, we had to qualify twice annually with an M-16, which I found kind of humorous since the closest I got to combat was being downrange of a Huk raid on downtown Angeles City in the PI. Anyway, we had to shoot at half-man targets (waist up) from 50 yards but the targets were sized so that it would be the equivilent of 200 yards. Out of the 8 times I fired for qualification, the worst I did was 58 out of 60 and that was in Basic. I got 60 out of 60 three times, 59 out of 60 four times,andearnedan expert ribbon.
