Yes Sir
It’s the immediate action drill for the M16/M4 series.Hi,
Yes, I've also put one or two in my magazine during live fire to practice malfunction recovery. My favorite dry fire practice is using a G-Sight laser cartridge with their phone app. I've also started using the Mantis-X system.
I'm not familiar with that acronym. I'll have to do a web search. (I don't "Google".)
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff
Sorry, a little off topic, but I was wondering what years you were a Drill Sgt. at Fort Benning. I was an old Harmony Church alumni when I went through basic and was just curious.
Did until I broke down and invested in MantisX and BlackbeardX.
91 to 94 Sand Hill. Used to be 4/36 zing. It was the first “Star Ship” as soon as you got to Sand Hill
Those years I was already in the Marine Corps. I went through Harmony Church in 1984 when I was in the Army. But while in the Marine Corps, I think it was in early 1993, a buddy and I traveled to Fort Benning to go get some uniform gear that was hard for us to get at our duty station as Marines. Harmony Church was being torn down at the time. That made me sad that a historical place like Harmony Church was never more.
And of course, I will always remember the rivalry between Sand Hill and Harmony Church! I remember getting to Ft. Benning in the middle of the night and then staying at the reception station (Sand Hill) until we were assigned to our basic training units. I thought the "Star Ship" wouldn't be so bad. Then we were put on a bus to Harmony Church! lol Hello condemned WWII wooden barracks! lol
Harmony Church and all the old buildings on Sand hill were torn down. I think the Master Gunner school is there now
Well, no wonder. An old timer like you trying to load and shoot an old Blunderbuss has to be tasking!
I did basic at Fort Knox then AIT at Benning. I was in Basic training when the US Embassy in Iran was taken over. President Carter was in office. We were told by the Drill Sergeants that are training was going to be sped up and we were going to spend more time on the ranges.
Some of it stayed as part of the Ranger training school, but I think a lot of it turned into some kind of armor training. I want to make a trip back to visit the Infantry Museum someday.
I went years ago when my son graduated from Basic. The ceremony was on the field right next to the museum. It’s a Awesome museum
