Won some. Lost many. Got distinguished! 
History of the distinguished badge: http://thecmp.org/wp-content/uploads...ulver_2000.pdf
Ate a lot of humble pies too! Acquisition, transition, and par time are definitely perishable. I was surprised my multi-gun and steel challenge leadslinging suuuck big time after over a year of precision work and no action shooting. But I still beat the competitor from a certain unit at the pistol-only stage 
I was surprised there weren't much cussing and resistance over the bullseye course. Soldiers listened to the excellent AMU pistol team instruction and applied it accordingly. A bunch of teachable professionals showed up this year.
