Careful with that book and take it with a grain of salt. Jack Coughlin was not an 8541 (S/S MOS), nor are the majority of his claims accurate and true.
He was removed from 1/7 (I will not go into the "why's")
There is no such animal as a "Chief Scout Sniper Billet."
His claimed "confirmed kills" in Iraq are a complete fabrication.
He has been awarded one bronze star, not two.
While his service was honorable, his book is full of half-truths, exaggerations and outright lies.
