Does that sound about right? (Also sounds like something you do only after you're qual'd and useful when in the fleet)

The day we were supposed to qualify Fire Arms at Bootcamp the only gun was broken so they made us run about 2 miles and said we were qualified Fire Arms.

Thanks for the information from all of you :) -- I have every intention of doing what it takes to shoot while I'm in. Great website source as well - thanks for that.

I know of two nukes who were on the marksmanship team (not at the same time). Both were on shore duty. One worked in my division and some people did not take kindly for having to teach for him so he could shoot. Others supported it. Don't know of many guys who didn't already have an affinity for guns that had the time, skill, or desire to reach the level of marksmanship required to be competitive. If it's something you enjoy and you can do it along with everything else that occupies your time, then go for it......after you get qualified!
