Bio
I was in one of the first Battalion STA Platoons integrated back into the Marine Corps after Vietnam as a Scout/Sniper. This was before they developed the school at Quantico. I was trained in the 3rd Recon Bn. sniper school. After my deployment with BLT 2/9, 3rd MarDiv, FMF. I was stuck at 2nd MarDiv, FMF instead of going to Embassy Guard School because the Division Inspector threw away my orders.
