A saved post from the now long dead riflemanjournal blog Reluctantly, like Ferdinand the Bull, the young Marine Corps recruit, Morris Fisher, fell in with the rest of his training company, came to attention, brought his Springfield ’03 to “Right Shoulder Arms” and marched away from the barracks to the rifle range.
