Did any of you guys read the story in the Sunday paper about the sniper from Double Springs? He is credited with a 1250 meter, one shot kill, with a M24 -308, "It is considered a record for that weapon" as quoted from the paper, his unit was credited with killing 200 insurgents and he, a Staff SGT. was credited with 70. They were in Ramandi, Iraq, keeping watch over roads traveled by convoys, and taking out the bad guys planting IEDs His quote about the 1250 meter shot was "A blind hog gets an acorn every now and then". Its a good story. I'm proud of all of our soldiers, and its good to read about a local guy like him. It was also on the front page, for all of you who can't see it. Front page news about a local sniper, killing the bad guys, is good news. On this occasion, +1 for the B'ham News.
