Nice drill! DNC was the only competition my platoon did not win in basic training. I guess that was a good thing because our guideon was getting a bit heavy to carry due to the number of streamers we had obtained

USAF rifle drill consisted of "Which end do the little bullet thingies come out of?"

The harder you pull the trigger, the further the bullet will go.
