I was being a little tongue in cheek. When I was in the Navy and stationed in Guantanamo Bay everyone was on the base defense force and had to learn to shoot M1's. Some of the clowns gripped that they didn't join the Navy to have to shoot guns.
I thought it was great. I joined the rifle and pistol team and got to shoot thousands of rounds of free government ammo. The rifle range adjoined the fence between the base and the Communists. The Cuban guards used to watch us with binoculars. Castro was always threatening to invade the base and they were probably identifying who the good shots were. Lucky for us he didn't invade the base. Lucky for him because the 101st Airborne would have been there in 12 hours, kicked his ass and freed Cuba from the Communists.
