I have good news! I passed BRM! I qualified today! I only shot marksman level which is the lowest, but still, I qualifies! My first time shooting didn't count because of a rather large computer error. There are forty targets and forty rounds of ammunition, yet somehow I shot a 59. The guy in the lane in front of me shot a 58, so they shut that lane down after me. When I went over after shooting that time, I got really scared because First Sergeant Turner, our company First Sergeant and a VERY strict and tough guy said, "Who was in lane 7?" I raised my hand and said, "It was me, First Sergeant." He just started shaking his head and I was thinking, "Oh no. I missed them all or something." Then he explained what was going on and I was like, "Whew!" It wasn't funny at the time, but it is now. So yes, I passed! Only a couple of more obstacles to overcome and I will graduate no problem at all. I'm actually doing this! I'm making it through Basic. Isn't that exciting?!
