Reading post 60538 in main thread: Marksmanship Practice Halted!?

Our marksman/air rifle team was halted due to a safety standoff pending investigation on a situation with another detachment. I was told that at a college there was an Activities Signup held in the gym for a few days and on teh third day someone asked the ROTC guys how to shoot a rifle and they held it up, turned the safety off and not knowing the gun was loading with a pellet, shot the bullet and killed someone. Therefore there's pending investigation on why it was loaded and whatnot.

However, our order came as of July something or other to halt all Air Rifle practice. No US Navy unit is supposed to be shooting air rifles at this time.

(Our Drill team is also currently at a safety standdown. Some idiot left a rifle out. Lol.)


Performance with style.
