Keith added to a different collection today when he qualified for the Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon. He made 48 out of 50 shots on target.Qualification as expert with the rifle (M-16) requires 43 hits out of 50 rounds on various sized silhouettes, simulating targets at different ranges. The target itself is 25 meters away, with silhouettes simulating targets at 50 meters, 100 meters, 150 meters, 200 meters, 250 meters and 300 meters. 10 shots are fired each from the standing-barricaded, kneeling-barricaded, prone-unsupported position, prone-supported position with 10 shots being fired while wearing a gas mask and prone-supported position with 10 shots being fired with the weak hand.
As I am sure you have read before we are very proud of him and what he is doing. ( It's a parent's right to say this as much as we want to.)
