How Many have taken additional training?

That puts you in a class with BATMAN so there is a category for you...

haha yeah I'd have to agree there. Ex Marine snipers have to walk about in a rubber suit from now on

I try to get to the ranges every few months at a minimum. Doesn't always happen but I try.

I am a retired Marine Scout Sniper. I didn't answer the poll because my training goes well beyond what was given for answers. I have taken too many to count pistol classes, professional self-defense classes.

That makes two of us. Being a retired Air Force Combat Arms instructor I've taken more classes and have more practical experience on weapons than the average person. Anything from a 38 S&W revolver to a MK-19 full auto grenade launcher. Repair and maintenance, instruction and providing tactical training to SP's and qualification training to all other AF personnel. As an AF instructor we had to maintain a higher proficiency on all weapons and courses of training that we provided. Anything less than an expert rating on was not acceptable. I still pop off a mag or two every day just to get my fix of burnt powder! ;)
