Review Quotes

"If I were to do it all over again, not only would I have wanted to attend the prestigious Marine scout sniper course, but I would have wanted Delgado as my instructor. From childhood to war, to becoming a teacher to future HOGs, Delgado's story impacts like a 308 at point blank. I now get why they took home the international competition win in 2009, and remain the best snipers I have had the opportunity to work with.
