Civilian Marksmanship Program▸Pregnant Prone Shooting Position

Dear Laura

Thanks very much for checking. I really appreciate it. There is no rush. Back in the 80’s under the DCM I waited two years to get my first M1.And my wife qualified for one in 1990 when she was 7 months pregnant. They had to dig a little ground out so that she could shoot Prone, because of her tummy and the gentleman that was working the line called it her “pregnant prone” position. Hope you would get a chuckle out of that.  I know she did, she still talks about it.
Just wanted to make sure that the paperwork had arrived safely.
By the way, back then, my wife decided that I could have her Garand back in 1990, but she took my match grade AR in return. Seemed a good trade at the time.

Hope to see you at the GCA meeting later this year. We have been attending them since the early 90’s.

Thanks again for the great customer service.
