You folks really must live in a different world from mine. Oh, I live in a suburb of Washington, DC, and nobody goes out their backdoor and hunts (which is why there are so many deer around). My son really doesn't care anything about guns but he served in Iraq as a tank crewman. And now my brand new son-in-law is on orders to go to Afganistan. Oddly enough, one of those in the family who's never been in the service is actually in Afganistan this very minute.

So when the time comes, the army will teach anyone everything worth knowing about guns and shooting. Just be patient. They don't teach fishing, though.
