I’ve seen these paintball tournaments. They expend rounds like congress spends money. I wasn’t trained to do that.

And even Sgt. Campbell admits the best candidates he finds at tournaments – or other sporting events – are recruited for their leadership and team-building skills, rather than their accuracy with a rifle.

my friend I've seen paintball tournaments and I've participated in the "other thing".... the good paintballers learn flanking and cover maneuvers. Now as far as put lead down range......well I always tried to put as much down range as was needed.

Ammo is cheap. The more ammo I've got to throw out there and pin you down with. The easier it is for my other guys to get around and flank you or light you up with arty or air cover.

This is basically guys getting together with friends to "play" war.

Some parents get real scared when they see their son starting to like the camaraderie of fighting together and shooting other teams. Cause down deep, some guys like fighting for their country and this selects out some of those fellas that are good at shooting and scooting.

Give them a little self discipline, training and fitness.....plus months of training...you might be surprised what you might get out of this group of young men.

Any army infantry grunts out there?
I mean the instructors.
Do paint ball fans know what they are doing or do you need to retrain them?
