Re: It's merely a marksmanship badge.

: I guess I don't understand your question... I
: posted two URL's (that's Universal Resource
: Locator) which are web addresses to my
: previous posts... Copy each one of them
: individually open a new browser window and
: paste the http:// part into the address
: field and hit the return key.
: It's not difficult.

: We were talking about Sniping... The image I
: posted was a Sharpshooting badge from the
: U.S. military. The term Sniping typically is
: considered a rifle marksmanship skill. So I
: posted a rifle marksmanship badge.

: One of the many reasons I don't live in
: California despite the fact I have many
: relatives out there.

: No, my inclusion of the image was merely a
: reference to the Sniping/sharpshooting
: aspect of the slang term, no other overt or
: covert reference to firearms, just a
: skill... One shot/bid, one successful
: mission. In fact I've heard many people use
: the term "Pulled the trigger" on a
: watch deal.

: If cuting and pasting URL's is too much for
: you, then I suggest you do a forum search
: (past 2 years) on "Snipe" and read
: my posts. That's what I did to find my
: earlier posts.

Thanks Chuck Wow thats easy to do. I can not wait to try it out. I had no Idea how to find the posts.

I new thay what the marksman badge was, I just thought it had to do with the links. Very cool to put with snipping! I love it!
Also thanks for the link to the new computer lingo LOL I had seen it but had no idea what it was.
Yes as wounderful as Calif is The way things have gone is out of control here. I live in a neighborhood that my Dad and I used to shoot rifes/hand guns and have alot of photos from the 1950s the cops and people here can not beleave we all used to shoot up here on the boulevard.
Now thay shoot allover Oakland but mostly at each other by city hall. What a wast.
Thank You all for your kind help.
Turned out to be the bigest post I ever started.
Take Care Crew
