RE: My Life in Law Enforcement: A True Life Story #11 Firearms
What exactly happened to the cadet that hit your target instead of their own? Is this an immediate, "You're done." "Thanks for trying out kind of a thing."
Nerves must just be so jangled but still hitting a target that isn't your own seems like a major faux pas or blunder.
Haa, really good question! If this would have been the specialized firearms instructor school that I was in, then yeah, they would be sent home immediately. But since this is rookie school and the very beginning of the firearms block, no punishnent was given. The instructors worked specifically with cadets that needed remedial training. As long as a cadet didn't violate a safety rule or do something stupid, then they wouldn't be discharged from the program. But they still had to meet the qualifying score by the end on the block of instruction.
