  1. All the political b.s. and arm chair quarterbacks aside. Thank you VERY much for putting your ass on the line every day so I can sleep at night. I say a prayer for all of you every night before bed. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you... Be safe. Rhino Sgt. Cowan, U.S. Marines
  2. Faith and experience. God has spoken directly to me in such ways that cannot be questioned on a number of occasions.
  3. Congratulations!!! I am so sorry I couldn't make it.. You 2 are an awesome couple!!
  4. I don't agree. Aimed shots are different than shots that weren't aimed. If I am at 1,000 yards and you are shooting in my direction, yet I am looking through an m40 at you, I don't feel threatened. Hell I wouldn't feel threatened at 200 yards. This guy shot a a neighbor? Then a sniper like yourself should have had a clean shot at him... I know I would have dropped him had he been in my scope. And a child wouldn't have been hit. From 100 yards you should be able to pick off eye brows on a moving target. The little girl was shot in the leg and in the head. You know as a swat sniper someone should have had line of site on this dirt bag. Correct me if I am wrong.. Rhino
  5. to start I would have pumped invisible sleeping gas into the vents in the house. End of story.. Walk in.. Grab the perp and walk away.. easy.. I wasn't there. I can't necessarily criticize the same way a civilian really can't criticize a soldier in combat. It's easy for me to say what I would have done. 2.5 hours is a short negotiation. If he was shooting at cops they could have backed off. Maybe that wasn't possible. either way, the child's death should not have happened. Very tragic.
  6. Welcome back bro! Glad you are home safe! Rhino
  7. Before I was a parent I would have likely responded the way you did. It changes you. No big deal.
  8. Are you a parent? Do you have a little girl of your own by chance?
  9. I can't disagree.. Knowing that the little girl's brain was blown out (with a high powered rifle) tells me a sharpshooter took a lousy shot. Whomever did it took a lousy shot.

  11. http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/03/toddler.autopsy/index.html This is absolute bullshit. The LAPD should have been good enough not to shoot a child. Especially with a rifle round. That's bullshit. The LAPD is going to loose big on this one.. Prayers to the Suzie Marie Lopez and her family. Rhino

  13. You don't need to quit. Just dedicate yourself to canopy flight. Get a big ass Triathlon at 1.0 and practice accuracy and flat turns. do nothing but hop-n-pops from altitude. You will be amazed at the confidence and skill you will build spending time under your canopy and building muscle memory. Stop jumping with other people for a while. Get rid of the performance pressure you are feeling. Just fly your canopy and build confidence. Give it a try.. Just hop-n-pops for the next 100 jumps.. Between 14k and 0 feet you can do A LOT of flares.......
  14. Our troops are not fighting to establish a religion. What have you been smoking?
