"Does it ever stop raining here" Corey yelled over the rain and thunder. I guess I should explain this corey is sergeant Corey Nealeigh of the us marines he was my spotter we had been working together for 5 years and had a total of 20 successful missions and 1 fail it's a long story involving many close calls and forgetting to bring bullets yeah he forgot not me. Besides I don't want to start going off on some random subject. Anyways we were somewhere in a jungle in brazil it had been raining for 4 days straight but today we would be leaving hopefully. Just incase you were wondering I am captain 1st class Bradley jackle I graduated boot camp in 2006 and moved to sniper training because I never miss. I am about 6'5 190 lbs and had brownish blond hair and blue eyes. Back to the story sorry. We would be leaving this hėll hole today if the target a captain of a militia that was threatening the Brazilian government. If he would just show himself I would take him out from my hide out 3/4 of a mile away me my spotter and my barret 50. Caliber sniper rifle and wherever I hit him would turn into a red mist and I would beable to chalk up another success on my record. Anyways back to story Coreys question of " why does it always rain here" I said " I don't care hopefully in less than 24 hours I will be back home under a actual roof that doesnt leak like this shìty leaf roof" " hey I did the best I could with the supplys we were given" Corey yelled " I am starting to think" " don't hurt yourself " Corey said interrupting me " THAT there is no captain if are informat lied or told us the wrong camp I will tear his head off and" " TARGET SPOTTED" Corey almost screamed " bout dám time" I mumbled getting into position behind my massive rifle and looked down my scope. Sure enough there he was walking out below a covered area to yell at a guard for something I personally didn't care about. I slowed my breathing like I knew I should centered my crosshairs a little up and right of his chest because of wind and because the whole head shot "all" snipers supposedly
Used I took one last breath steadyed my aim and pulled the trigger a loud boom filled the air and a huge shell fell from the chamber onto the ground. Corey didn't say anything for a while the captain had disappeared so I assumed I hit him but the next 2 words Corey said turned my world upside down " shot missed"
Ment to say no actual snipers go for headshots to small of an area my bullet is almost the size of his head
My ears were ringing and my head hurt bad my eyes were blurry. what was worse was there was what looked like a shadow above me so I thought alright I am dead and this is death. But no as my eyes slowly adjusted I became aware of a faint sound yelling and it became louder and louder until I could hear Corey shouting " we gotta go NOW the militia is coming and there still bombing this hill move it soldier" .I heard the booms in the distance and my vision cleared and I saw Corey standing above me with blood leaking out of a gash in his head must have been from the blast I thought. I got to my feet shakily and started to limp away with Corey next to me just as we heard the jeeps getting close we had gotten into the jungle but that was the worst decision I could have made with all the disease and predators just waiting to kill you. It was just me Corey and we each had a m9 semi automatic pistol with a 10 round clip and 3 back up clips each. It would take down smaller animals but a tiger would be trouble. Then just our luck we heard a growl from the jungle to our right
