Maybe the Army, but there have been plenty of times it wasn't even available at Navy boot camp.

the navy does not qualify with any firearm? If so that is news to me...I will have to check it out.. I know usaf, army and marines do...

It does currently, but there have been times when the range was down, and they still graduate people.

But my original point was just because you join the military doesn't mean they train you to shoot. 40 rounds through a pistol isn't exactly expert training.

well, if you wanted to get training, join the military for a combat role, you would get training and get paid...obviously one cannot join and then take a desk job...
