Ok here’s a never told true story.
No shit there I was USMC S/S School 1985. We had a field exercise prier to graduating.
We were given this the night before and the mission would start the following night and end 12hrs later at day break.
The OpOrder highlights.
Obj. the 1000 meter tower at the KD ranges.
Us, 2 man Sniper team
STA Plts will be out there looking for you.
You will insert by truck at 123456 (Which gave us a 9km movement) but if the gate to the range was still locked you’ll be dropped off at 987654 (Which gave us a 2km movement) (Wheels turning on that point). At either drop off we’d have to go around a waterway inlet (Definite danger area surely the STA guys would be there).
So the plan just came to me like a bolt of lightning and at the time my Sniper buddy just looked at me with an “Oh shit” face.

To be continued got to work now.

PETE
It’s true
The only true Bar-B-Que is pulled pork with vinegar based sauce. Hush puppies and slaw on the side.
minus the hush puppies
