How extensive?


Certainly not as extensive as the Marines or Army recruits but more than
I experienced back in 1968. Navy recruits today must qualify with a 9mm
(Glock) and a shotgun, although according to my son and son-in-law they
also used a M4.

All of the Coasties I see on the water are carrying a sidearm and you
have to qualify to do that.
