It is the responsibility of each person seeking training to ensure that his or her command will accept the firearms training
performed at BTR prior to making an appointment for training.
BTR has been approved to train US Navy Personnel for pistol and rifle qualifications for nearly 10 years by various CO's of many
different commands. The approval for BTR to train Navy personnel lays strictly with the CURRENT Commanding Officer of that
shipmate's current or transferring command.
BTR guarantees you the best firearms training available. However, BTR makes no guarantee that any Navy pistol or rifle
qualification will be approved by your CO for entry into your service record.
Since 2008 BT has been qualifying E-1 through O6's for their Pistol and Rifle ribbons and medals. BTR remains the only off
base training facility allowed to qualify US Navy personnel for firearms training. BTR training meets and exceeds the OPNAV
instruction requirement for civilian no-cost contracted firearms training.(no cost to the Navy), and a very reasonable discounted
cost to active duty Navy personnel.
The training is performed as a no-cost contract to the Navy because the military member pays for their training out of pocket.
It is at the discretion per OPNAV instruction or each individual Commanding Officer to approve the Small Arms Qualification
Record OPNAVINST 3591.1F to be entered into the service member's military record. The Small Arms Qualification
OPNAVINST 3591.1 is issued to the service member by BTR after the training has been completed. The service member must
route the training record through the proper chain of command (established by each command) so that the record may be
permanently entered into the service member's official service record.
It is quite common for service members TAD in the area to submit their Small Arms Qualification Record received at BTR to
their parent command upon return to command. Again, it is up to the individual CO to authorize the training record to be entered
into the service member's permanent military record.
BTR guarantees the best firearms training available, but BTR can not guarantee your CO will authorize your training record to
be entered into your service jacket. This is because as CO's change command, each CO must be brought into the loop of
understanding of how this OPNAV instruction allows training by no-cost civilian contractors.
BTR training facility is heated and air conditioned and has night lighting. We shoot indoors and out bullets go outdoors.
All your eye and hearing protection will be provided for you upon request. You are welcome to bring your own weapons and
shooting gear if you wish.
Please check with your command ahead of time before training with BTR for your pistol and rifle qualifications.
BTR will supply the firearms for your training along with hearing and eye protection.
