CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (NNS) -- The U.S. Navy Marksmanship Team (USNMT) recently announced this year's match schedule for service rifle and service pistol competition. The Atlantic Fleet and All-Navy East matches will run May 5-17 at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. Pacific Fleet and All-Navy West matches will run April 6-15 at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California. "The Navy competition shooting season starts with the Atlantic Fleet and Pacific Fleet matches," said Cmdr. Jon Marvell, USNMT officer in charge. "All Navy shooters from around the fleet, including Reservists and retirees, are invited to attend these competitions. From the fleet matches, we select the best 100 shooters from each coast to compete in the All-Navy matches -- east and west." After the All-Navy matches, the top 20 shooters Navywide for pistol and the top 20 for rifle are invited to represent the Navy at interservice and national matches where they compete against the best shooters from all military services. The interservice pistol match will be held at Fort Benning, Georgia, June 17-22. Interservice Rifle will be at MCB Quantico, from June 21-29. Like last year, national rifle matches will be held in two locations: Camp Perry, Ohio, and Camp Atterbury, Indiana. National pistol matches will be held at Camp Perry, Ohio. "Our primary focus at the fleet matches has always been to introduce new shooters to disciplined marksmanship competition with service pistols and rifles. We accomplish this with our Small Arms Firing School and our full match program. Last year we added a .22 Excellence-in-Competition match to the Atlantic Fleet Match. This gave experienced shooters the opportunity to earn additional awards and it gave new shooters an opportunity to warm up with a low recoiling target pistol before the service pistol matches began. "In recent years," Marvell continued, "we have sought to incorporate more intermediate and advanced training for our more seasoned competitors. Last year we had a breakout training session with Lt. Keith Trapp, a member of the 2017 United States F-Class (Open) National Shooting Team, on wind reading. We also had a clinic on service rifle positions conducted by Cmdr. (ret.) Matt Bartel who won the 2014 National Trophy-Individual for rifle at Camp Perry. "We also have the support and presence of the Retired Navy Shooters Association (RNSA). This group supports our matches and provide an opportunity for face-to-face interaction with people who were champions before many of our new shooters were born. RNSA members are match officials and referees, some still shooting competitively, still serving the Navy shooting community long after their military service has ended. "The military is, and always will be, a profession of arms," said Marvell. "While the big Navy focus will always be on ships, aircraft and big weapons platforms, we cannot forget small arms skills at the deckplate level. The RNSA involvement in our matches helps link new shooters to the long-standing tradition of small arms in the armed forces and the nation. "All of these resources are available at no cost to the shooter or his command, but they are priceless it terms of improving marksmanship skills. "2018 will be our 57th annual Fleet Matches," Marvell concluded. "We've been doing this for a long time yet remain an unknown to so many in the Navy. Please spread the word. Every year we have dozens of sailors with no experience show up to safely learn about competitive marksmanship and the advanced techniques required to employ service-type rifles and pistols at or near maximum effective ranges. Even for those with no experience at all, they are welcome to join us and learn form the best in the Navy about safe and responsible small arms use, learn and practice advanced marksmanship in a safe and professional environment, and join a growing Navy shooting sports community."

The U.S. Navy performed a wide array of missions during the Vietnam War. In the air, it was a key partner with the U.S. Air Force during the Rolling Thunder and Linebacker air campaigns against North Vietnam, and in other air operations in Laos and Cambodia. On the coast, it developed a highly effective blockade to prevent the resupply of enemy forces by sea, engaged in naval gunfire support missions against enemy targets in the littoral areas of Vietnam, and provided amphibious transport for Marines operating in I Corps. On the rivers, it stood up several task forces designed to protect commercial traffic, assist allied ground forces in pacifying these areas, and interdict enemy troops and supplies moving on these inland waterways. The U.S. Navy also supported the war effort with a massive sea and riverine logistics operation, built and managed shore facilities throughout South Vietnam, and provided extensive medical support for the allied military operation. A total of 1.842 million Sailors served in Southeast Asia. The Navy provided the allied effort with many unique capabilities, the most significant being the projection of U.S. combat power ashore and control of the seas to support a land war in Asia far from the United States. Overall, the Navy suffered the loss of 1,631 men killed and 4,178 wounded during the course of the war. 2. To ensure the sacrifices of the 9 million who served during this difficult chapter of our country's history are remembered for generations to come, President Donald Trump signed into law the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017, designating March 29 of each year as National 29 we will honor all those who answered our Nation's call to duty.

To pass the advancement exam, you will need to have a raw score (number of correctly answered questions) of at least 49 for E4, 55 for E5 and 61 for E6 and E7. Currently, all enlisted advancement exams have 175 questions.

Your exam standard score is a numerical representation of how well you did compared to peers taking the same exam. Scores range from 20 to 80, with the candidate that answers the most questions correctly getting a score of 80. The "pass" standard is very low since the Navy is using the exam to equitably compare candidates in the same rating. Navy exams are the one Final Multiple Score element that Sailors have complete control over.

The Navy Advancement Center processes substitute exams as they are received. The exam standard score calculations are done in the same manner as the Navy-wide advancement exams for Final Multiple Score computations. Your Educational Services Officer (ESO) is responsible for prompt return of the substitute exam answer sheets. Advancement (E4-E6) and E7 Selection Board Eligibility results will include all substitute exams received and processed as long as there are no candidate discrepancies. Substitute exam answer sheets received after results publication will be immediately processed, and a profile sheet will be made available the following day. Check with your ESO to get the status of substitute exam processing.
