I think the sparrows had one round and if they failed a second sparrow would step up. Anyhoo, had several encounters around Clark Air Base and Subic in the 80’s.

"Awareness beats fast draw every time". Nice. Edit: Great clip, 👍

Low-key, are Ric’s boys putting in work over in Blyatt?!

[@stephen3762]

That's crazy that you could read his mind like that

[@charlesboots6508]

Staff NCOs everywhere rejoice! You aren't nitpicking your troops when you tell them to keep their hands out of their pockets, you're making sure they aren't mistaken for Philippine terrorists in the future.

Everyone needs to read American Desperado- it talks of Ric aka “Ricky” Prado and his days as an enforcer / hit man for Albert SanPedro during the Miami Drug wars - also his hit on M Lansky’s step son. It’s a MUST READ!! It’s where Ricky got his street cred prior to going into the agency.

They touched on this. Wildly untrue.
