When he told this story, I remember his eyes beginning to tear up. He began to tell me a story that I will always remember. I'll never forget as he began talking to me about how people don’t realize how much they go through overseas. I was one of the guys that didn’t have to ask.” Essentially he was saying that there's different levels to the position and he was very high up. Some people have to ask for permission to shoot, and then there's a select few that don’t.
He explained it a little something like this.he said “when it comes to snipers, there's different positions. He was explaining how he served in the military and what his roll was. I'll never forget.one day he came into our office for something and we were chatting. He's now disabled due to a severe injury he had overseas. He served in the Marines and was a sniper. You’d see a guy that you’d most likely think you wouldn’t want to mess with, but really, he’s one of the nicest and most caring guys you’ll ever meet. If you saw him walking down the road, you’d see a guy standing about 6’2 and covered in tattoos. He happens to be a good friend who owns a local business in our town.
Regardless, I think this story will bring light to some of the things our troops go through.Ī close friend of mine was a sniper in the Marines. The details I’m sharing will only be the details I know, which I’m aware is not the entire story, as certain things could not be shared with me. So, before I start this story, I have to tell you that the name of the individual I am speaking about will not be given out for privacy purposes.
