Ok well after just wiping out a noob corporal squad with a knife i think i'm read y for Vet. Yeah I still need 20 more, but on question. Does the 7 kills I got from basic count towards my Vet or do I have to do that over again?
no you have to do it over again (otherwise it would be kinda silly)
It counts, 50 kills with it before you get the 7 kills in a round & you'll have your vet badge.
