JG Troy McCoy - 0730)
Troy loved the shooting range, it was one of his favorite things. There was something about testing his mettle, his hands, his concentration, his vision, that just filled him with energy. How much sharper, clearer, quicker, could he be on the draw. It is probably why the ole gunslinger from Calgary, Alberta, Canada got the nickname Tex. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-family:garamond,"times new roman",serif;font-size:large;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:16px;white-space:pre-wrap">What he didn't like about the shooting range was giving assessments, because it meant that he wasn't getting to shoot, but as the ACTO, it was part of his job.</span></font></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:16px;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></font></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:16px;white-space:pre-wrap">"Good morning Ensign."

Troy had been working through the whole crew to evaluate their shooting expertise for potential away team roles. Excluded from the list were Medical staff, Counseling staff and civilians. Of course even by removing all of those, he had still only made it to the H's. "Today should be just an easy day. I've set up a course with some moving targets, no one will be shooting at you, and you will stay behind the counter while the targets fly around across the back wall. You can choose from three different types, phaser rifle, and the dust buster style phaser or a pistol style phaser. Whichever one is more comfortable for you. Any questions before we start?"
