    i think that record still stands--but the towel head on the recieving end doesnt--see the video of that shot---nasty
    regardless i agree about the new driver thing--i have been in the business for about 25 years --as either a mechanic or driver
    when i hear drivers complaining about their old pos truc --the #### thing is only 2 years old--the reason its a pos is cause of idiots wrecking it
    and please hold my hand and give me directions so i can get to the shipper--that drives me crazy---i couldnt work at a place that gives me my routing that i have to stick to--or tells me when to fuel and how much--
    i realize its all in making money--but cmon--i have a brain--i know when to fuel--and how to get to where i am going

    Haha - I know the UK has some pretty bada$$ special forces - SAS.

    The "only US Marines have better training" statement, you must mean non-special forces training...since the only comparable to Delta and SEAL would be British SAS and Israeli SF's.

    In 2004, an estimated 40 members of JTF2 serving with Task Force KBAR were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation by the United States government for service in Afghanistan. Very little is known on JTF2 operations in Afghanistan, but during a conference the former Chief of Defence Staff, General Rick Hillier, stated that JTF2 is in "high demand" and that they are considered to be "world class." He went on to say that the unit is providing direct support to the Afghanistan government and is targeting the Taliban leadership in southern Afghanistan. He stated that "trying to help neutralize those leaders is a key part of their role and that's what they will continue to do."[6]

    I am well aware of that; In fact, I believe very little in the media and their one-sided, biased opinions on anything - especially military/government related.

    If we only knew half of the real truth....

    You should consider joining the RCAC (Royal Canadian Air Cadets). When I was in the USAF Auxilary I spent a week in canada Training 150 RCAC cadets how to use Elpers (also known as a Direction Finder) for SAR (Search and Rescue).

    This is an Elper:

    ...........but they did it with ammo made in America. One of their teams broke Hathcocks record and within a few weeks another of their teams broke the first teams record. One of the teams-I forget which- said they wouldn't have been able to do it with the ammo from Canada. No offence to the fine folks to the north intended.

    Be safe out there.

    ecactely right 00 they were pretty impressed with the ammo that they borrowed--and they stated it was the ammo that definately helped with the shot--little bit hotter load
