My college NROTC used Garands during my freshman year. They replaced them with M16s. After handling the M1, the new rifles felt like toys. If I remember correctly, there's a four pound difference.
@mukband OUTSTANDING, I am so glad to hear adults are feeling the pride and pain of the rifle. Contact me via my profile E-mail and I will send you a couple stories I wrote regarding the M1-Garand for my book.
@crouchje We are not JROTC we are the Air Force ROTC so college and we use full wood stocks with metal but plates, we sand them, and polish them a lot, and the marine DI that inspected us found them perfect
@mukband Yes you are correct that MANY JROTC units use the M1-Garand albeit many are the light weight plastic ones. My point regarding who still uses M1-Garands was in regards to our active duty military.
Glad to hear your team did so well. So, out of curiosity are you using wood stocks are the plastic stocks with rubber butt plates? Most JROTC teams opt for the plastic and rubber becuase of the inherent cost of maintaining military grade metal and wood.
She had a tremendous amount of heart and stubborness, gained the trust and admiration of the whole class and the DI's. Most importantly she wanted to be treated as an equal, not a female! Most of my females would quit.

@crouchje How long is Navy OCS? Do you immediately become an officer upon completion?
