Author Topic: Mr. Black Really is a Sniper...I Can Prove It (Read 15955 times)

Real Snipers don't talk about it, they just don’t. I know this to be a fact. I used to shoot competitively and knew several both active and ex Marine and Army types. When asked why the low key nature as to what they do the answer I heard the most was "most people really don't like snipers as they think of them as sneaky and somehow evil" "Most people grew up with the cowboy code of never shoot someone in the back and don't sneak up on them" I went drinking with these guys and when asked many times I heard "I'm a Scout or in Recon." I never heard "I'm a Sniper"

If MrBlack is a Sniper then sir from your fellow Snipers "you are an "A#$ hole" and when you grow up have a nice day".

"No real Snipers were injured in the making of this post"

Scootter FWIW MrBlack emailed me his DD214 and I'm convinced he's telling the truth. It said-

"sniper, kiled sevural Domenikens in Centrle Amerika, and this should shut up the bishtards at HTCes O club."

It didn't look photoshopped either.

Yup and the Bravo4 part is the sniper

A buddy of mine was a sniper in the 70s-80s. I emailed him mrblack's pic and he says he looks familiar. FWIW.

He knew what Bravo4 means.

Our Production Manager is a retired Ranger Capt. He tells me that he was in Central America during the same time frame.

This is getting weird!

I was in Central and South America around that time... I didn't see MrBlack there.

And... MrBlack... why is it the only reference I can find to a sniper MOS for the Army refers to the fact that the Army doesn't have a sniper MOS? You wouldn't be fibbing now, would you?

I do know what you are doing... you're acting like a security cop that could have been a policeman if it weren't for that damn psych eval and that "bum knee".
