    "Richard Johnston is a great instructor. Really appreciated him teaching the class, dispite his knee issue( that says something all to it own). Very professional. I learned a few new things, from him in his class, that i now have more knowledge about firearms safety and cleaning and ammunition types and choices. Enjoyed his class. Can't say enough about him and wish him well. Thank you for your service, Marine. Semper Fi."
