    Bill,

    I have to say I am even now more impressed with you. You mean to tell us that you had no idea you were being you were being groomed for sniper school? I know that you were trying to get into Ranger course but to exceed those reqs and qualify for sniper school without knowing about it. I am impressed.

      I honestly had no idea until my Company commander uttered the words, "We have a slot for sniper school, are you interested?"

      I was in his office trying to use my 292 APFT score(97%) as leverage to earn a trip to Jump School. Sniper School wasn't even a part of my thought process- until the moment he mentioned it.

      Thank you for the kind words Sir. Means a lot, really.

            If you want to know more about me, then go ahead and ask questions; I'm not afraid.
            I trust that all of you are not crazy sickos.
