As an officer deploying to Djibouti, I am required to qualify with the 9mm pistol. The qualification range starts back at 25m. The qualifier needs to jog in place for 2 minutes to get their heart rate up then the shooting sequence begins - Shots from Standing position (braced against a post), prone or lying down on your belly, crouching stance looking through a window frame, kneeling stance behind a barrier and then a final point-blank shot from 3m away. In between there is two ammo reloads. The process is repeated. The weather again was very cold, but once we got going the adrenaline kicks in. Luckily I qualified at the middle Sharp-Shooter level.
