Drill sergeant shoots first perfect score at Army marksman course​


A drill sergeant who trains new recruits to be infantry soldiers became the first to shoot a perfect score over the five weeks of an Army course for marksmanship instructors.
Staff Sgt. Do Hwan Yi shot a perfect 170-out-of-170 on every critical shooting event at the Marksmanship Master Trainer Course at Fort Moore, Georgia in December.
He is the first soldier to not miss a single shot while completing the five-week course, which formally began in 2018.

...

Yi, 26, grew up in Dedeo, Guam and enlisted in the Army at 17.

“There’s almost no Army presence on Guam, but I knew I wanted to serve in some sort of combat role and that’s why I became an infantryman,” he said. “I just grew up seeing the [Global War on Terror] on the news and TV growing up and I knew that I was gonna join the Army at a very young age. When I was 17 and able to enlist, my parents signed off and joined the Army.”

That's outstanding! I've been on those ranges, through similar courses at Benning, quite a few times. You gotta be in serious shape to run that course and still max out your card.
