It sure sounds like a Marksmanship Badge for Army or Marines. But these badges had a Maltese Cross without rifles. One class of badges for the Marines had crossed rifles but no cross. So it could be a markmanship badge issued either by a State for that State's National Guard soldier. Or it could be a marksman badge issued for competition. I think soldiers could wear these non-regulation badges on some occasions. What do you mean by "ore pin"? The question says, in part, that it may not be a medal but a "pin". If it's brass, circular in shape, with the crossed rifles in it, than it is simply a branch insignia for the US infantry.
Would have to be more specific but sounds like a pin from the WW1/WW2 era

I'm not certain what CAL designates. Typically, anything extra, numbers and/or letters is a unit designation. The crossed rifles, however, is specifically the symbol of Infantry. It can be nothing else. Crossed swords is Cavalry, crossed cannons is Artillery, the Caduceus is Medical, a flaming bombard is Ordinance, crossed semaphore flags is Signal/Communications.
Pin Oak Middle School was created in 2002.
My first thought was French. And a search of the web found a reference that said the early French Tank crews wore a badge that meets that description. However, I can not find a photo of this. I don't know if it was a badge(pin) worn on their uniform or part of their helmet. Most French helmets have a raised image for the type of unit---usually a flaming grenade. This was attached to the front of the Adrain helmet. So, this is not exactly a pin or badge.Reference: "Army Uniforms of World War 1" by Andrew Mollo & Pierre Turner, Arco Pub, 1978.Above book illustrates the uniform of a French tank crew member and has this text:"The tank commander wears the Adrian helmet with aritllery badge.... In August 1918, a special sleeve badge consisting of crossed cannons surmounted by a knight's helmetwas introduced for crews of tanks."Also recall, that the badge for the Engineers was a breast plate with an helmet resting on it that resembled what was worn during the Napoleonic wars.

It's from "The Society Of The Crossed Keys", the book that inspired the movie he was plugging, "The Grand Budapest Hotel". For an image of the crossed keys please see the accompanying link.

There are many company's that have initials JCS meaning i am unable to pin point an exact estimate of how many people work in this company/organization.
I imagine they had a rolling pin type item. I have seen some drawings that show an rolling pin type item.
If the live and neutral wires were crossed in a 3-pin household plug, it would result in the electrical circuit not functioning properly. This could lead to electrical devices not working or potentially creating a safety hazard due to improper functioning of the device or risk of electric shock if the casing becomes live. It is important to ensure the correct wiring for safety reasons.
Move the large weight first until you find the notch just before the notch where the pin falls down. Repeat with the middle weight. With the last weight move it until the pin falls in the middle of the scale.
