Now.. the fact of only having 2hrs or about 500 rounds down range in a Qualifying course that puts you in a special operations unit just doesn't sound right? how is that even qualifying? I'm potentially a 18x recruit but what this man has said (regardless of his attitude) is a bit discouraging to hear. I want the best training In the world. It is one of my many reasons for wanting to join SF. I hope my concern is understandable. The point about how they promote SF to get more recruits with the high speed film clips of the awesome training is a good point. It does imply a misconception of the reality of training I'm sure. But it is something I look forward to and I'm sure all of you did as well. Now I'm sure In going to get hammered by some of you because I'm a civi who knows nothing as Ive seen you guys destroy people on this site. The average BUD/s student in 3rd phase puts down about 10,000-20,000 rounds in a matter of 7 weeks. live demo, and live round exercises. This seems to not be implemented based on this original threads comments. Is the 2hr of range time a funding issue or just the way of design? At what point does the marksmanship and time behind the gun become proficient and constant? Or does this skill require someone to attend a school once they get to a team? Or is it the big boy rules of you need to go learn yourself by finding a civilian coach? Can somebody (without bashing me on being a civilian and not knowing what I'm talking about) give me a better understanding.

Your entire post is gobbledygook.
