When I was going through basic training for the Air Force I was the only one that didn’t qualify on the firing range. My flight along with our sister flight marched quite a distance to the range during the hot July Sun. I am not making excuses just a bad shot that day. Our assignment was to fire semi-automatic rifles and hit a target 100 yards away. Out of approximately 100 airmen I was the only one that didn’t qualify that day because I was two shots short of the mark. 07/16/2024 01:30 PM

Next thing you know, you’re reaching for the aloe vera and frowning at the flaking skin peeling off your arms and shoulders. 07/16/2024 01:30 PM
