This was during the Virginia Military Institute Army ROTC FTX (Field Training Excercise) during October of 2009. This is not the standard qualification course, this is a practice drill for said course. We were shooting at paper targets with simulated distance-size targets on the piece of paper. There are no pop-up targets, nor does it go out to 300 yards. This is meant to be practice for the “real deal” and is not a substitute for it. The standards that we had to meet that day: 40 rounds are fired at 10 targets, four rounds per target. The total number of points a Soldier can get is 40. 37-40 hits is “Expert,” 31-36 hits is “Sharpshooter,” 24-30 is “Marksman,” and 23 and lower is a no-go. We had four minutes to shoot the 40 rounds with the M16A2 rifle.
