[QUOTE="ceg1963, post: 105620, member: 4159"] All, It looks like a great bit of information was lent to IdahoWoodsBummer. That seems like a good idea, but is it? First you wrote: "I am in a remote part of the sandbox right now and need some data badly. I cannot go into very many details for OPSEC and PERSEC reasons. I am doing a contracting job." Who has contracted you... knowing that you and your guys have only the marginal technical skill and or proper equipment to execute? Is that OPSEC information as well? Second point you wrote: "Here is the scoop. My coworkers are not able to get onto a range longer than 25 meters and I do not have my Sierra ballistics program with me. resupply is not an immediate option." A remote spot "in the sand box" with only 25 meters, or 100 meters for a target range? Hmmmm? IdahoWoodsBummer, I don't know you, so please don't start a flame war. It seems you are too busy too do so anyway. Having spent 21 months in Iraq, I can say with full conviction that marginally qualified, minimally equipped "contractors" are not a good thing there. Both for our currently deployed U.S. Service members, and the poor civilians there as well. I do agree on your final point: "This is a bit of an off the wall request but I figure who to best get the data from than a bunch of LR nuts." Sorry guys, people die "in the sand box" due to "contract" cowboys all too often. Just keeping it real. Charles [/QUOTE]
