Dude, seriously. I had a Sergeant Major just before I got that was probably the best one I ever had and she was something else. First, female Sergeant Major in an infantry brigade, at E7 was a Drill Sergeant of the year and drank more beer than my whole company.
Great. Men are women and women are men. How do you eat that much and only weigh 130 pounds? Is boot camp co-ed? Does the marine corps give out numerous medals just for shooting well at boot camp?
The "medals" given out for "shooting" are qualification badges. They denote the weapon and degree of proficiency you have with it.
For the Army it's ranked as Marksman, Sharpshooter and Expert. In the Army, you will qualify and be awarded with no less than Rifle Marksman because anything less is a fail for which they can technically kick you out for.
I'm unfamiliar with the Marine Corps qualification standards, but I do know it's similar and even more intense.
