Once a quarter was standard at the 82nd; once a year everywhere else (except during Desert Shield). And strangely enough, in the Texas Army National Guard, it was twice per year with the M16, once a year with the M60, and odd range days here and there for different weapons (like the M203, M202 Flash, shotgun, M3 Grease Gun, pistols, etc). We actually did a lot of shooting in the TXARNG. I had strange qualifications like rocket launcher, shotgun, and submachinegun.
