100 mph in a chevette?!?

yeah right - makes a much sense as the rest of this POS article - a helicopter mechanic Marine sniper! What a good cover for a movie by an ignorant liberal wannabe reporterette.

Marksmanship instructor is nowhere near going through sniper training (I washed out of sniper school in 1969 -wrong psychological profile) and I was also a marksmanship instructor. The latter being of no consequence to a person's ability or penchant for being a sniper. 'nuff said.

Read it again my friend. A Corvette will move a bit quicker than a chevette. I'm actually relieved that he used a 30.06 and not a .50 BMG. Sounds like the guy was a nutjob.

I was a Marine Jet Engine mechanic. 5th award Expert. Two of those quals were perfect scores.

That being said, Instructor billets came from many different areas. One of my DI's in boot camp was a Supply Sgt that had also done a stint on the Marine Corps Rifle Squad.

None of the articles I can find on him mention how long he was in. If he had been on the Range, was a Helo Mech, and had served in Afghanistan, then he had to have been in long enough to have picked up more rank than just Lance Corperal unless he was a complete dirtbag or had gotten busted for something.

Good to know that journalists check their facts... /S>
