I'm still not scared. I think everyone on here is some triple black belt green beret navel seal airbore ranger chuck norris undefeated son. You could of been anyone on the internet, and this is who you choose to be... someone who doesn't even have to take a hit, just falls to the ground and pretends to be dead until everyone else is gone. Amazing simply amazing..
On paper I actually am a lot more badass than I am in real-life. This used to irk guys in my platoon. I got to go to a disproportionate number of ARMY schools because when you're in the sniper platoon there's literally like 6 guys (7 if you count the platoon sergeant). Like you have your shooter, and spotter, and then you have a team leader. There's 2 teams. I was on the M24 team, the other team was the Barrett/50 Cal.

So these school slots come down from higher, each platoon might get 4 school slots. Well when the sniper platoon has like 6-7 guys in it, and the other platoons have like 30 guys in it, the guys in the sniper platoons end up going through a bunch of schools comparatively. Especially when the higher ranking guys use their Rank to get out of going to these schools.

I actually went through ARMY combatives level 1-3 off post in Clarksville. Was part of the first group of soldiers that they let civilians teach. A lot of our instructors were former UFC fighters, and UFC fighters would visit our camps because the MMA community is small and they thought what we were doing was cool. Matt Larson actually came up from Florida and over-saw us.

So anyways, after going through all of these schools and then moving down to a regular line platoon, someone saw my ERB and got mad. They were like according to your ERB you're some kind of black ops ninja sniper. And that's really what it sounded like. Advanced martial arts training, sniper school, sotic, ranger school, airborne, air assault, RSLC etc.

In reality I was not the toughest guy in the platoon, and I was not the best at anything in the platoon. Despite being a sniper there was guys in the platoon who could shoot better than me. Despite being a martial arts instructor, there was many guys in the platoon who could fight better than me. But on paper I was more qualified than all of them at everything, and that was a far cry from reality.
