Default "Gunny" Hathcock did that indeed

A "Boot brown Bar" 2nd. Looie sent the column out on a unsecured road, the gooks had planted a delayed mine, the lead vehicle took the hit and Carlos pulled out and saved the lives of three Marines, suffered major burns himself, and was nominated for the Navy Cross- He told Captain Jim Land that they should receive the medal instead of him- three years to recuperate- In 1976 Gunny Carlos Norman Hathcock was selected to be the NCOIC of the newly designated USMC Scout/Sniper School in Quantico. The USMC, like the other branches of our Military, has its legends and heroes galore- Gunny "Long Tran" Stands alone- "There have been many other Expert Rifleman, many became Scout/Snipers, but there is only ONE Gy/Sgt. Carlos N. Hathcock"
