A good friend of mine, Army CPT Dean Grable, used to wrestle in the Greco-Roman 145.5-pound division.

The tactical recovery team worked alongside U.S. Marines from the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit to recover simulated personnel in an austere environment.

Austere?.......I guess so!

Freedoms that we now enjoy
Born from D-Day’s terrible labour
Creating debt to soldiers living and dead
That can never be repaid.
Except that we are thankful,
And promise never to forget"

RE: Curious, did he see you, smell you, or hear you?

I took those pics at about 80mm zoom with a Canon Rebel XT. They were only a stone's throw away, and I would be surprised if they couldn't hear the shutter going off. ...but they went back to browsing (...um...in the previous sense of the word, of course) afterward, so apparently, I didn't interrupt their supper much. ('Okay, smile for the camera... Okay. Got it. You can go back to what you were doing, now.' ...grin)

I can attest that they did seem to be chewing their food pretty well...   :))

"Just heard from my daughter (1Lt Becky). (SSG) Dusty has shell fragments lodged in the spine touching the aorta. They are flying her to Germany tomorrow. He was part of the quick reaction team that got ambushed. He is really going to need the prayers now. Thanks for everything so far."
