When do you get to qualify on pistol? I am going infantry. Also, I am very nervous about qualifing on the rifle at training. Any insight?

You will only fam-fire with pistol in recruit training.
You will only get the opportunity to qualify with the pistol if your billet requires it or when you become a Staff Sergeant.

Grunts can correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, the majority of 03's will not qualify with pistol unless they get a secondary MOS that requires it.

Don't worry about qualifying now. Free your mind, Luke. We will train you well. Just listen up and do everything you're taught.

Crew served MOS's get pistols, 0311s don't. So, it depends on your MOS more than anything else. For what its worth, most Marines I know never qualified with the M9.
