"We ran 5 miles today to the rifle range and shot nearly 200 rounds a piece at targets and then ran back."

Utter bull$#!+ unless he's one of the handful of Force Recon, and the recon guys I knew were all to the right of Attila.

Yup. I agree. i can't remember if it was you I responded to last. The only others may be snipers. I know when they are pigs or hogs or whatever (before they go to school) they have to run EVERYWHERE.

They may make hem run out to Hathcock or the other ranges when they are at school. But every time I ever went to the range you dd armory draw and WALKED to the range. Ther is no running on the range because of safety reasons. Even movement to contactare only done at MAYBE 50%. And the certainly aren't no 5 mile runs.

The most I could see is a 5 mph hump at the K ranges on Lejeune (or 29 stumps), but that ain't running.

I say its either either a BOOT, a POG (our wonderful hideouts in supply) trying gain cool points, or complete BS.

It’s possible that this guy is real, but gets all of his information from the MSM. There are a lot of people who just accept the crap that CNN and MSNBC spew, uncritically.

They’re pie-eyed innocents who can’t wrap their minds around the notion that ‘The Most Trusted Name in News’ would ever slant a story to achieve partisan political mileage.

I’ve met lots and lots of them. Not when I was in the Corps, but they do occur once in a while.
