I was fortunate to have attended a pretty elite Marine Corps school. They call it "Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course," But I'd call it the Marine's version of "Top-Gun."
That started a long and lasting friendship between me and some Marines I have met and befriended along the way. I was fortunate to have operated with them in several theaters and in combat in Afghanistan. Good group of warriors.
Ran across some cool pics of their latest instrument of death. Cool birds!
