So even on this Web-sight i am Thanking you, Good Hunting out there. PLEASE DONATE TO THE WOUNDED WARRIORS FOUNDATION SUPPORT OUR TROOPS[/quote] I am a Marine. Combat veteran of the surge into Afghanistan 2010. I spent most of my deployment attached to STA as support SAW Gunner. After which I was delegated to be acting Squad Leader of 13 other Marines after the SL was wounded in action. I had a family emergency which interrupted my attendance to SSBC Scout Sniper Basic Course. But I passed the STA Indoc with flying colors. I took an intro course to SERE School in which I would have attended after SSBC if I went. My closest friend is in 2nd Recon I believe Alpha co. His name is Sgt. James Schwarz. I know as much as a man could possibly know about STA (don't say scout sniper) everything. Anything I don't know. I CAN know because my network runs deep. Everyone from JTACs, Battalion Gunner (CWO4 Curre), shit even Gen Kelly..... CO of US South Com..... haha. He personally awarded me for wounds sustained in Afg. I'm a -blam!-ing humble dude. But I felt it was needed to included my history so u know I'm not wasting ur time. Send me a private message. I'll tell you whatever the -blam!- you wanna hear/know/don't wanna know etc. I'm blunt and say it how it is
