Rangers lead the way..
When did the USCG get snipers? I only got to jump out of somewhat (not perfectly) good helicopters.
Congratulations guys! I’m shocked the Army doesn’t force each team to include “women Rangers.”
PING and enjoy.
Head to the border for some more target practice.
Put them on our border.
Oh, but they do! 😁
Bttt.
5.56mm
LOL.
Hell, I expect EVERY federal agency has snipers these days.
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.
“US Army Rangers: When they absolutely, positively have to be killed overnight.”
Army Rangers won, huh?
Somewhere, right now, a USMC Gunnery Sergeant is NOT real happy...
:^) Haha!!
Either way, glad OUR guys won the international competition...
Pingy
Active Duty ping.
Go Army!
