f the action around COP Iron had been dull to none, the action
around COP Falcon was the exact opposite: intense and thick. The
Army camp was a clear threat to the insurgents, and they wanted it
gone.
A flood of bad guys came at us. That only made it easier for us
to defeat them.
Very shortly after Ramadi started, I reached a huge milestone for
a sniper: I got my 100th and my 101st confirmed kills for that
deployment. One of the guys took a photo of me for posterity,
holding up the brass.
There was a little bit of a competition between myself and some
of the other snipers during this deployment, to see who got the most
kills. Not that we had all that much to do with the numbers—they
were more a product of how many targets we had to shoot at. It’s
just the luck of the draw—you want to have the highest numbers,
but there’s not much you can do about it.
I did want to be the top sniper. At first, there were three of us
who had the most kills; then two of us started pulling away. My
“competition” was in my sister platoon, working on the east side of
the city. His totals shot up at one point, pulling ahead.


Our big boss man happened to be on our side of the city, and he
was keeping track of how the platoons were doing. As part of that,
he had the sniper totals. He tweaked me a little as the other sniper
pulled in front.
“He’s gonna break your record,” he’d tease. “You better get on
that gun more.”
Well, things evened out real fast—all of a sudden I seemed to
have every stinkin’ bad guy in the city running across my scope. My
totals shot up, and there was no catchin’ me.
Luck of the draw.
I
f you’re interested, the confirmed kills were only kills that someone
else witnessed, and cases where the enemy could be confirmed
dead. So if I shot someone in the stomach and he managed to crawl
around where we couldn’t see him before he bled out, he didn’t
count.
