"That Grip Went Out With Vietnam" — Old Marine Shot 5 for 5 in 12 Seconds With It Anyway
#VeteranStories #MilitaryRespect#EchoesofValor When Staff Sergeant Bodie Larkin loudly announces that a 77-year-old student's thumb-over-bore grip "went out with the Vietnam War," he has no idea whose morning he just interrupted. Delmer Prentiss doesn't argue with the young instructor. Instead, the 1969 Scout Sniper School graduate simply drops to the mat and fires five shots into a palm-sized group in under twelve seconds. But the real lesson isn't about speed or out-shooting modern chassis systems. It is about a hard-earned technique taught to Delmer by Gunnery Sergeant Emory Talbrook after a tragic, fatigue-induced mistake cost the life of Delmer's closest friend and spotter, Wallace Tibbetts, in Vietnam. If you ever wore the eagle, globe, and anchor, or if you believe the knowledge carried by our older generations is worth more than the ten seconds it takes someone younger to wave it off—SUBSCRIBE. This channel exists to make sure that kind of knowledge never quietly disappears. #MilitaryRespect #VeteranStories #EchoesofValor DISCLAIMER: This story is a work of fiction created for entertainment and dramatic purposes.
