 My name is Sergeant First Class Carriaga, I'm with the 158 Bravo Company, I'm the second platoon sergeant. We are here in Florence, Arizona, the automatic rifle fire range, so the qualification will take place, the new Army qualification, 40 rounds from different positions and you must shoot at least 23 to qualify. It's fairly basic, it is more involved, this whole entire qualification course from start to finish, six tables is more involved than the old way. So this is more combat focused, the positions and the transitions are on the soldier, the tower doesn't call a switch from one position to the other, it's all on him, he needs to react to the targets as they pop up, from the prone unsupported to the prone supported to the kneeling, on a barricade to standing on a barricade, it's all on him. You actually get your hands on your weapon and you learn more by the time you're done with this entire qualification course. It's more realistic, it applies more to real shooting than just a canned qualification course. Readiness for an infantryman is being able to hit a target, so the qualification just verifies that every individual is ready, it's part of a job, you need to be able to engage them. Strong sense of patriotism started out when I saw my fellow soldiers in Somalia get back in 93, for me personally, that's what got me to join the army, got to do a lot of good things in the range of Italian, got out and came back into the National Guard to continue to serve while doing my job as a citizen.
