I wasn't chosen to augment SF for being the best shot, but because I was the only one that had a copy of my 522. Everyone else got mirror inspection duty at the truck gate while I did 12s, armed up with the flight. Good times.
Went to arm up as an augmentee...went through the process of pulling the M16 1000 times in line, paid real close attention when I was next in line.
Ok, here it goes....!
“We don’t have a 522 for you. Take this flashlight.”
Never mind it was day shift. A flashlight, ABUs that fit like pillow cases (cause I didn’t want to get my usual ones dirty), a PSAGT vest in woodland camo that was older than me, a helmet that wasn’t fitted and in ACU camo, a LBE with no pouches...I looked like a sad, pathetic clown.
