GALACTIC MARINE CORPS SNIPER TEAM by David Smith

He’s been fighting with the 45th Marine Expeditionary Team on the planet Calypso for 6 months against a tough insurgency. The fool cost the lives of most of a sniper/recon team on Calypso. Major Bill Jackson sits in the brig seething over the gall of Commandant James Smith for placing him in confinement for decking the incompetent Colonel Noah Poindexter III. I currently reside in the southeastern United States where I live with my wife Evelyn and two dogs Katy-Bear and Koal-Bear.ĬHAPTER - 6 - Deploying to the Surface of HellĬHAPTER - 13 - Preparing for The Worst-Case Scenario My hobbies include writing, growing a home orchard and long-range shooting. Like most of my family I performed my duty to military service in the United States Marine Corps. My name is David Smith, I worked as an international contractor for over 20 years around the globe. Her willingness to edit the work and give honest feedback improved the story greatly. I dedicate this book to my wife Evelyn without whose diligence and perseverance it would not have been possible. His entire career has been that of a sniper team commander in the Galactic Marine Corps. His marksmanship skills earned him a chance to become an elite sniper and he rapidly rose in the ranks. Like all modern Marines Bill started his journey into the Corps as an enlisted Marine. After graduating from the Naval Academy with an MBA/Tactical Theory he joined the Marines with his fathers’ approval. Instead of permission his father offered him a deal that if he would attend the Naval Academy, he would give his approval. On his 18th birthday he asked his father to give him permission to join the Galactic Marine Corps. He heard the stories of his ancestors’ prowess in war and swelled with pride as his father and mother told the tales. Bills youth had been that of a military child moving from duty station to duty station. His father is an active duty three-star general working in the Galactic Marines Special Operations Center located in the Southeastern Sector of North America on Earth.

One of his relatives fought in a battle in a place called Iwo Jima. His family lineage in the Marines stretches back to the old United States Marines of the nineteenth century. Colonel Bill Jackson has been a Galactic Marine for twenty-one years.
