      To say that not everyone who serves in the military attends basic training shows me that you know absolutely NOTHING about what you are talking about. Please refrain from spewing nonsense, thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      We get it, there’s a ton of people here who don’t think a DD-214 equates MD “training” can a mod please close this thread, lol! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      Here’s a good link to what the Navy does now in basic, even chaps in the engine room! Cheers! https://www.military.com/join-armed-forces/navy-weapons-qualification-course.html/amp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      I think it would be fair if we all just agree to disagree on this one. There are clear generational gaps with military experience here. Younger vets get weapon, and combative training, to include who to shoot and who not to shoot, and some older vets didn’t shoot guns. Google searches would...

      So you agree that younger vets are good with just a DD-214.. Great!!!! We agree. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      Yeah, I’ll admit I had blinders on when thinking about folks with a DD-214. Even though I’m retired, I’m fairly young and all I’ve known is the post 9/11 era..I think a fair assessment would be that folks who served in the past 20 years have had more weapons training, even in a support role.

      You said earlier you joined mid 80’s, how long did you serve if you were in long after 9/11?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      But his promotion relied heavily on how good he could shoot and qualify on his rifle..even Air Wingers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      Dude, I just retired after 20 years in the Air Force. EVERY SINGLE Airman in the past 5 years has had very adequate weapons training…either way, no sense in arguing, have a good night! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      Agreed with all said here..I will add that the level of training post 9-11 is very much different than that of 50 years ago. Even me as a mechanic, looking for a lost socket on the flight one qualified every 3 years, and also prior to deployment. In fact, ALL Airman in basic training now qualify...

      You are very mistaken, especially the Air Force. I retired last year from the Air Force last and I’m very familiar with what was taught 20 years ago and also today. The post 9-11 era has been infinitely different from what your knew. A quick google will show you exactly what all the branches do...

      Perhaps…but quite a few other states have a DD-214 exemption also..either way, I’m glad it’s there! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

      For the post 9/11 generation, yes… basic is clearly different now than when most of you went through. I wasn’t thinking you guys and gals weren’t at war when you were in….perhaps I’ll restate my original statement…if you served in any branch over the past 20 years, a DD-214 is more than enough...

      It’s very much so different now, for what it’s worth.
