I was wondering if anyone knew the regulation that could tell me how long a weapons qualifcation card is good for.  I had previously shot a 38 at the range but today I shot a 27.  My question is can I still use my range card with 38 instead of the 27.  Please provide me with the regulation if you can so I can refernce the regulation myself.

Annually, two years for promotion purposes, and no, newer qualifications override older ones.

FM 3-22.9 & AR 600-8-22

 

Marksmanship Badges.

An award for previous marksmanship weapons qualification is revoked automatically

whenever an individual, upon completion of firing a record course for which the previous award was made, has not attained the same qualification. In the event a badge is authorized for firing a limited or sub-caliber course, it is automatically revoked if a record service course is subsequently fired. If the bar, which is revoked automatically, is the only one authorized to be worn on the respective basic qualification badge, the award of the badge likewise is revoked automatically. An award once revoked will not be reinstated.

Can you use an old APFT score?  No.  The weapons qualification is no different.

We cannot simply 'rest on you laurels' when it comes to individual qualifications.

SSG Hasbun is dead on.

See if your NCO will send you out with another platoon or Company to improve your score, in the meantime get back to fundamentals, they really so solve 90% of the issues that come up.
