Summary of Brandon Webb & John David Mann's Among Heroes

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The pressure of sniper school is mostly mental. You have to be in top physical condition, but you also have to absorb complex skill sets and execute them flawlessly at a machine-gun pace under conditions of constantly increasing intensity. #2 In the field, your life can depend on making the shot. Out here on the range, it was just our careers on the line. We had to move through a course with multiple lanes and shots within a specific time frame, and we weren't using handheld computers like we do today. #3 I was freaked out, but I had to stay focused on the task at hand: shooting a 100 on the range. I heard four pings in succession as Glen aced four shots out of four, and we moved on to lane two. Glen did the same thing in lane three, and again in lane four. We were finished. #4 The shooting portion of the class was over, and we'd survived it. Even though my best friend had lost the contest, I didn't care. It was impossible to feel anything but happy that Mike had won.
