Thanks, VMaster!
I have the pleasure of knowing Carlos Hathcock III... At the ripe old age of 40, he retired from the Marines last summer with the rank of Master Gunnery Sgt. He was on a helicopter ground crew during Desert Storm. He taught at the Marine sniper school, shot on and coached their long range shooting team. He now works as a civilian contractor to the Marines designing and upgrading their firing ranges.
I know him through bass fishing - his "other" hobby!
I can't imagine a finer example of a Marine! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
