““That was your last test, Sir. Attention! There’s an officer on deck.”They snapped to attention and saluted me. I returned their salute and then Carl pulled me into a bear hug.“Be careful out there.”William wasn’t finished. He bent beside his desk and stood holding a long metal case in his hands. He placed it on his desk and opened it. Inside the case was a rifle with a scope.“Ralph, this is an Enfield .303 rifle. It’s been called the best sniper rifle ever made. This one belonged to our late b...ase commander, Colonel Huff. Put it to good use. Carl has volunteered to devote range time this afternoon to familiarize you with its characteristics.”“William, Carl, I’m at a loss for words. You have honored me today and your faith in me will be a staff to support me if I ever have doubts about my ability to fulfill my mission. Thank you for opening the door and letting me in, and thank you for all you’ve given.”William reached into a desk drawer and brought forth a fifth of scotch and three shot glasses.MoreLessRead More Read Less
