Interesting. You're "just a guy" by your profile. If you're gonna have a go at me, why not be a man and speak who you are? I spent last year doing CSAR for DOS in Afghanistan and this year work for SOCOM supporting SOF. I have 25 yrs as an 18D, 18E, 18F SFC & 18A CPT as a Combat Vet, Honorably Discharged and Retired. Now- Who are you exactly to attack me for speaking my peace?
Good Q- I got out as an E-7 and chased wars as a contractor long before 9/11. When it happened, I came back in, did all the schools to become 18A. Had to stay in 10 yrs to retire as an O, so I retired in 2011 from SF CMD as an LNO for 3rd SF. Wasn't a plan, was just responding to the attack like the rest of our country. Be well! :)
Nope- I joined in 1982, had 3 MOS's in Regular Army first, 05B, 31C, 31V. Was a SGT with PLDC & ABN when SF Recruited me to 18E in 1986. Got lucky and went to 18F after 11B ANCOC, We needed 18D's for Desert Storm so I did that. Wasn't a plan, just did what was needed at the time.
Lee, as usual, great article! Thanks for outing the SOB! We have the same ones in the Vietnam veteran ranks too. Wannabes long on mouth, short on guts!!!
@lee williams Can you write an article on banks who are anti 2nd amendment? I need to open a corporate bank account but I do not want to support a bank that has been giving gun owners and/or manufacturers a hard time.
BTW I was an armorer, or Infantry Weapons Repairman, basically a parts changer. If Campbell didn't go to any armorers school then he's also off base about being a weapons sgt.
One thing I have learned knowing guys that had "been there done that," and I'm not one of them, is that they didn't have to brag about it, nor would they.
I worked in the gun industry in the early/mid 90's and even then, it was rife with guys who spun tall tales about either fantastic military or LEO careers. Sad to see it hasn't changed. I am amazed to see people that supposedly were/are in the sphere this guy claims to have existed in come up to defend him.
I know Blaine. He's one of the most gifted Gun Makers I ever met.
He was a solid Combat Vet Paratrooper who passed SFAS.
Personal reasons prevented his getting through the Q but he was invited back.
Those are good things, but he did make claims that were untrue, sad to say.
I suspect he got caught up in it all, no ill intent, but dead wrong, in any case.
He has apologized and that counts for something.
I'm thankful to the Guardians for setting the record straight,
and I appreciate this forum for supporting 1A & 2A.
I hope he honors his promise not to do it again.
This should not detract from his ability to provide
some amazing guns and ammo to SOF & America.
Let us continue to hold people to the truth and
Focus on supporting our War Fighters & Freedom Lovers.

If Hawke is stepping up to defend him, you know he is a POS.

Thanks for your service, Mykel. Welcome to the site.
Thank You! Keep Doin' Good out there!
Mykel, interesting MOS stack. I realize times have changed, wondering how you went from a 18D, 18E, 18F to an 18A?

Did you graduate SFAS as a delta, then trained to be an echo? That’s an interesting mos jump.

Are you OK with him claiming SF and taking contracts claiming SF when there are actual SF owned companies out there ?
Shame shame shame.

Thanks, Rick!

Great idea, Ed.

Amen!
Shame is right.

Amateurs always advertise. Shameful to the entire community
