[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1625396, member: 29632"] Another Marine here, not a grunt though so I just shot a rifle for annual qual...but I never cleaned a rifle a day in my life before boot camp. Then cleaned 27 hours a day at boot camp. Did lots of thinking and paying attention in the years after boot camp, day 1 on the range I didnt shoot as well as day 2 with a halfass cleaning, so day 3 didnt clean at all come qual day shot just fine. Next year didnt clean it at all shot just fine again. Decided then cleaning was over rated. Not unnecessary, but for sure over hyped. Now, that I'm a bit older, shoot a lot more, and actually own the rifles I have reconsidered the "never clean" approach, but I certainly dont clean as often as some guys. [/QUOTE]
