OK, here's a copy of the letter I sent about 2 weeks ago. No answer. Let's find out why.[;)]

Camp Perry, Ohio
Dear Sir,
If I can get off of work this summer, I intend to shoot in the John C. Garand Match, even though I can’t hit a bull in the ass with a canoe paddle.
What I would like is permission to be accompanied by my Seeing Eye Cat. I have enclosed a picture of the little guy so you know he exists.
Over the years, I have found myself to be a better coach than rifleman, but I still enjoy shooting. During this time, I have become a master of First-Class excuses for third class shooting. From time to time, I’ve managed to help a fellow shooter from facing humiliation by supplying him with some of my better excuses. ($4.95 each, Visa, MC, Discover)
The problem with excuses is that you have to repeat yourself to everyone that asks you how you did. If I brought along the Seeing Eye Cat with me on his leash, it would be obvious enough so that people would not have to ask.
Is there any chance I could get a waiver for the ‘No Animals’ rule?
If I can’t bring my Seeing Eye Cat along, I guess I’ll just have to bring along my invisible Seeing Eye Dog. I guess I don’t have to ask permission to bring him because it isn’t too likely that the MPs will catch him because he’s invisible.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Respectfully,
My name here
OK, Recon types please help with target location: We need the CO's email address. I can't seem to find it.
The rest of you ground pounders, remember this: The CO of Perry is one of the good guys. Be nice to him.
We don't want to give his chain a painful jerk, just a light, playful tug, so let's keep it light. Be polite and ask him why Mr.Black can't be accompanied by the SEC. No threats of angry stuff. Remember, he IS the CO of the base where we have our national matches and we DON'T want to piss him off.
If you want to poke fun at me(and/or my dismal marksmanship) in your letter, feel free.
Recon types: thanks in advance.
