rifle practice today . . .

[mollykins]

. . . . was a disaster (at least it was only ceremonial stuff we were doing and not actually firing them), for several reasons;

1) the instructor kept syaing the orders for the old rifles, which you use in a completely different way.

2) the other instructors who were learning how to use these guns kept making more mistakes in the routines than the cadets! especially a lieutenant commander (the highest scc rank!) and then there was a petty officer, who I was stood next to who dropped his rifle, which went flying past me and clipped my rifle, half way through a 'present arms' movement so i nearly dropped mine!

3) my hands got really sweaty (anti-perseprant doens't work on hands!) and the rifle kept slipping out of my hands, especially when we did 'present arms'!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds a bit like something from a Norman Wisdom movie!

Soz to hear that Molls - you didn't get fired did you? (fraternising with the instructor on fb and all that?)

[Bobbisox]

[wolf63]

I hope that I am not the only one thinking that Molly + firearm = disaster.

[mollykins]

It was ceremonial stuff, they've been made so they can't be fired, even if you could get hold of ammunition.

A rifle without rounds is like a bacon sarnie without brown sauce
