"Bellowing" drill sergeants is the reason. 99 percent of them are morons who would urinate or soil their trousers if they were ever forced to prove their marksmanship ability in front of those recruits."
You don't like Drill Sergeants?????
I do not know how it is today, but since the Army has become a "kinder and more gentile place" when dealing with trainees.......I doubt range week is different from when I was a Drill Sergeant. In my day there was no screaming on the range. Drill Sergeants spent days with poor shooters reteaching and practicing sight picture and trigger control exercises.
I would classify very few Drill Sergeants as morons. And all of us could take a trainee's weapon and qualify with it. Each of had to qualify annually and if you didn't qualify in the expert range..... you had remedial training and re-qualified.
