When did the USCG get snipers? I only got to jump out of somewhat (not perfectly) good helicopters.

Only because the Social Security Administration didn’t enter a team.

They got them from former Marines pre-9/11 when the Marine Corps had nothing to shoot at. The only snipers who were getting real-world trigger time was the Coast Guard.

Army Rangers won, huh?

Somewhere, right now, a USMC Gunnery Sergeant is NOT real happy...

Either way, glad OUR guys won the international competition...
