So how long were you in? designated team marskman or independant sharpshooter?
got any funny story?
No I was mainly a lone wolf; most of the time I had a spotter but other times I didn't due to unforeseen events. I was never a DM of a squad.
I lost 3 spotters in my 8 years of duty.
A funny story?
We were sneaking through the desert and my spotter happened to trip and fall face first in shit. The idiot stunk for the whole damn mission pretty much and the flies swarmed in waves.
I however don't have too many funny stories. It was a very serious time for me back then and in that line of work you don't want to make mistakes.
I however do have alot of marine and other military jokes.
Example:
A college professor, an avowed Atheist, was teaching his class.
He shocked several of his students when he flatly stated he was going to prove there was no God.
Addressing the ceiling he shouted: "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you 15 minutes!"
The lecture room fell silent. You could have heard a pin fall.
Ten minutes went by. Again he taunted God, saying, "Here I am, God. I'm still waiting."
His count-down got down to the last couple of minutes when a Marine - just released from active duty and newly registered in the class - walked up to the professor, hit him full force in the face, and sent him tumbling from his lofty platform.
The professor was out cold! At first, the students were shocked and babbled in confusion. The young Marine took a seat in the front row and sat silent.
The class fell silent...waiting.
Eventually, the professor came to, shaken he looked at the young Marine in the front row. When the professor regained his senses and could speak he asked: "What's the matter with you? Why did you do that?"
"God was busy. He sent the Marines."
