UNLIKE us good lookin former COASTIES who learned with and used M1's (a most damned difficult weapon to use when your left handed)
{speed quals were always fun on the 2 extra shells with the left handers}

I had to qualify at Cherry Point Marine Corp Air Station in 1967 because we skipped Range Week back in 1965 when boot camps went from the 12 week program to the 8 week program, because of the escalation in SouthEast Asia. "WE ALL GOT LAUGHTED AT WITH OUR M1's"

LOL. At least the M1's easier to clean without all that carbon crap from the gas tube being shot right inside the receiver/chamber area each time a round goes off.
