The U.S. Navy has issued two marksmanship ribbons: the Navy Pistol Marksmanship Ribbon and Navy Rifle Marksmanship Ribbon, since 1920. The pistol ribbon is currently awarded for qualification on the Beretta 9mm pistol, while the rifle ribbon is currently awarded for qualification on the M14 and M16 assault rifle variants. The Navy issues the marksmanship ribbon in three levels, that of Marksman, Sharpshooter, and Expert. The basic ribbon is awarded for the Marksman level while the specific Marksmanship Device is awarded for qualification as a Sharpshooter or Expert. Those receiving an Expert qualification receive the Marksmanship Medal, in addition to the Marksmanship Ribbon. MoreHide

I was told "doc's" dont carry a marine weapon into battle as it was against the "Genevia Convention". General Grey told me if I could qualify on a "Marine" range I could carry it......He congradulated me for scoring a 298 on a 300 point score at his CG inspection. Voicefully stated out loud for the formation "I wish most of my marine's could shoot as well"......guess I saw the wrong recruiter some how :) MoreHide
