Quote HistoryQuoted: Finished the book yesterday. VERY good read. Couldn't tell you the last time I read a book cover-to-cover, let alone in one weekend. Then started "The Quiet Professional" about Dick Meadows. Looks to be another great read. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Earlier in this thread, the book "Hunting The Jackal" was recommended. I picked up a used copy on Amazon for about $3, with free 2-day PRIME shipping. Last night I sat down to read a few pages, and ended up reading over half the book. That says something, as I am not a book reader. Very rarely do I sit and read, but that book is AMAZING! I highly recommend it. Very well done and takes you right into the action. I love the way it is written from the highs to the lows. Thanks to those who suggested it. Billy is a fucking legend. Finished the book yesterday. VERY good read. Couldn't tell you the last time I read a book cover-to-cover, let alone in one weekend. Then started "The Quiet Professional" about Dick Meadows.

Sorry for being off-topic, but there is a memorial service for the 11 killed in the Blackhawk crash on March 10/11.
If anyone will be in the area, it will be at the Navarre Beach Pier on Friday, March 20th at 1800hrs. Hurlburt's Honor Guard will also perform a flag retirement ceremony. I don't know anymore about it, we just received flyers for it this evening. I'll try to post a pic of the flyer. Again sorry for the slight off-topic post. |

It's scary, yet comforting, to know how small the Corps really is. i didn't know Saunders, but my brother has been hit with his loss. I've heard great things about him and that "Many a Taliban will sit around burning piles of crap for years telling horror stories about that man!" Can't think of a better way for a warrior to be remembered.

A U.S. Special Forces member climbs a hook ladder to board the U.S. Army vessel “Corinth” in the Arabian Gulf wearing full assault gear during a visit, board, search and seizure training event March 17, 2015, during Exercise Eagle Resolve. Ladder climbing can be a difficult task to complete while carrying weapons and wearing flak jackets and helmets. Considering the height and composition of the free-hanging ladder, the obstacle takes strength, balance and strategy to overcome. Exercise Eagle Resolve 2015 affords 29 partner nations the opportunity to train together to address the regional challenges associated with asymmetric/unconventional warfare in a multi-national environment. This is the Government of Kuwait’s first time hosting Eagle Resolve, which is the premiere Arabian Peninsula/Gulf Region exercise between the United States, Gulf Cooperation Council nations, and other international partners.

In this thread I see tons of Eotechs and Specters, and to a much lesser extent, some Short-Dots and ACOGs.
The heavy use of the EOs and Spectres - is this primarily because that is what SOCOM hands them or is it by choice? (Or somehow both, I suppose?) |

Weapons/pistols typically stay the same but accessories and mods (triggers, sights to their preference etc) vary depending on the operator. |
