[QUOTE="Tully, post: 1584319, member: 5877"] When I was in Basic Training in the Army in 1970 I came down with kidney stones the weekend before we started M16 training. You could miss 5 days of regular Basic or 3 days of rifle training before you got recycled. On the 3rd day of laying up in the hospital I asked if I could get out. They sent me back to my company. A food truck was preparing to head out to the range. I hitched a ride with them. I did not want to be recycled. It was late in the day when I got to the range. I found my Platoon Sarge and told him what had happened. He said "tell you what Richard head, take this rifle and let's see if you can hit anything with it". I guess I did OK because I didn't get recycled. Once I got overseas I had to carry an M14 on guard duty so I had to qualify with it. What a sweet firing rifle. Loved to shoot the M14 but the M16 was better for carrying around. [/QUOTE]
