TOPIC: Shameless Bragging...

Ladies and Gents -

Forgive the off-topicness of this post, but I'm just all kinds of proud of myself and wanted to share...

I got the chance to qualify with the 9mm pistol this morning. I haven’t fired a handgun since I was 12… They called me at 1400 (that is 2pm for those who lead normal lives) yesterday and told me to be there at 0430 this morning. This is a rare opportunity for Corpsmen here on this base, we don’t normally get the chance to shoot.

Well, I got there a little early and was told that they couldn’t give me any last minute training. They told me how to stand, gave everybody the safety briefing, and we went to the range. Over the course of the next 4 hours, I fired 198 rounds under various conditions (kneeling, lying down, going through an “obstacle course�, firing under “no light� conditions, firing with a flashlight, etc).

My final score, of a possible 240 points, was 231. That qualifies me as an Expert with the pistol. I’ll be awarded a medal and a new ribbon to wear on my uniform, as a result.

Thanks for letting me stroke my own ego. Back to our regularly scheduled program...

Congrats.

Very cool Koralk!!!

I had marksman with the M16 and the 9mm when I was in service.

As holder of several civilian awards for excellence for long rifle, high powered long rifle, and small bore pistol, I also congratulate you.

You should be very proud of your achievement, many will never know how difficult it actually is to hit that D*** little black dot (in your case probably a silhouette). Especially in different conditions, and from different positions.

Excellent job!

Nice work - remind me not to make you mad about any trade in the future. :shock:

HEY is this a subtle way to get people to stop picking on you - I THINK IT WORKED ON ME!

lol Naw, I'm cool with being picked on. So long as you people don't mind me picking back, of course.

Congrats, Dude, only thing I can compare to this is how many times in one hour, I click my mouse.

Fantastic and congrats. I hope your're as good with a sword or bow, or the monsters'll get ya.

Um...well...um...

Hey...I was the first person ever to "slide" a critical hit! And I did maximum damage to boot! I did it during the first ever playtest fight.

Sorry...that is all I got. I am a squishy civilian.

*bows down to the great Admin* I owe my allegiance to your greatness.

May my skill in martial pursuits reflect upon your efforts for world domination!





... And, um, as your loyal servant, some kind of bone regarding the True Heroes thing would be really appreciated!

WTG Koralk!!

I haven't shot a rifle in years. Used to love target shooting. Was so good my father wanted me to compeat. That was......um.......years ago. (lol).

yea well I was accurate enough to KO Magneto in my group

hey Koralk, this might be extremely helpful for doing TH, since you are so pumped about it
