\nWithout Proper Training and Front Sight’s $6,900 Challenge
\nLifetime Membership is Yours for Zero, Zip, Nada!
\n(That means no charge for YOUR membership!
\nBut you must act quickly! Offer expires in 16 Days!)<\/p>\n
Dear all;<\/p>\n
I told you yesterday that a very disturbing story from a very reliable source has brought to my attention that our good men and women in the Armed Forces Reserves, State and National Guard Units are being sent to Iraq with LESS training than we routinely provide our students in any of our Front Sight Four Day Courses.<\/p>\n
Well, it seems that some servicemen and women destined for Iraq are getting even less training than the Reserves and Guard Units!<\/p>\n
Read this unsolicited report I received today and then join me in becoming part of the solution to getting our young men and women trained– and in doing so, I will reward you generously.<\/p>\n
Read Petty Officer Goforth’s letter to me (that is his real name) and then take advantage of your opportunity to secure your own lifetime of training for zero, zip, nada…<\/p>\n
\u00a0 Dear Dr. Piazza,<\/strong><\/p>\n
My name is Harrison J. Goforth, and I am currently serving\u00a0 proudly in the United States Navy. I am writing in regards\u00a0 to Front Sight’s recent offer to its customers of free and \u00a0 reduced cost Challenge Lifetime Memberships in exchange \u00a0 for the promise to donate one of these memberships to a \u00a0 member of the U.S. military.<\/strong><\/p>\n
First, I’d like to thank you for making such a generous \u00a0 offer and for the patriotism it symbolizes. I’d also like \u00a0 to express my personal appreciation for your steadfast\u00a0 encouragement of Americans to exercise the exact freedoms\u00a0 that we in the military, at home and abroad, are fighting \u00a0 to defend.<\/strong><\/p>\n
In addition to our Reserve and National Guard soldiers \u00a0 being sent to the fight with a level of firearms training \u00a0 below that which Active Duty service members are accustomed to, and which is already surpassed by the \u00a0 focused, efficient training offered by Front Sight, Navy \u00a0 sailors and Air Force airmen are subject to a process\u00a0 called Individual Augmentation, in which they may be \u00a0 removed from their present command, sent through an \u00a0 abbreviated version of Army boot camp, and deployed to \u00a0 assist the Army in Iraq and Afghanistan. <\/strong> While I believe I speak for all of my shipmates when I say\u00a0 we’re ready, willing and able to help out, many of us have\u00a0 even less training with firearms than members of the\u00a0 Reserves and National Guard!? <\/strong><\/p>\n
Speaking only for myself, my firearms training is limited\u00a0 to what I received in boot camp, which was two hours of\u00a0 classroom instruction, two hours of simulator practice,\u00a0 firing 48 rounds on the M9 service pistol and only 3\u00a0 rounds(!) on the M870 shotgun.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Military firearms trainers are highly skilled and\u00a0 motivated individuals, but as you can see, they often\u00a0 operate under somewhat limiting constraints that prevent\u00a0 them from providing the level of training one can receive\u00a0 at Front Sight.<\/strong><\/p>\n
While I am not presently slated to deploy to Iraq, there\u00a0 is no way of knowing when the call for volunteers will go\u00a0 out. I wish I could take advantage of this offer, but I am\u00a0 only an E-4 at the moment, and I devote a portion of my\u00a0 paycheck each month to helping my family back home with\u00a0 their expenses. While I may be able to afford $99 a month\u00a0 if my situation changes (such as earning a promotion), it\u00a0 will come too late for me to participate in this generous\u00a0 program.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Therefore, what I’m asking is that if you find a person\u00a0 who has an extra membership that they can’t find a home\u00a0 for, please have them consider sending it my way. I give\u00a0 my word that I will not forget their generosity, or that\u00a0 of Front Sight in providing this offer, and promise to\u00a0 “pay it forward” by exposing my shipmates and fellow\u00a0 service members to the training provided at Front Sight.? <\/strong><\/p>\n
In the Navy, sailors who earn expert qualifications on the pistol and rifle are rewarded with special marksmanship medals and ribbon devices. Out of all the ribbons a sailor\u00a0 can earn, few things get noticed quicker or draw more\u00a0 questions than two big, shiny Es next to each other on the\u00a0 Rifle Marksmanship and Pistol Marksmanship ribbons.<\/strong><\/p>\n
My goal right now is to strut into work one day, have\u00a0 someone point at my new expert qualification ribbons, and\u00a0 ask, “How’d you get those?”, at which point I’ll proudly\u00a0 say, “I trained at Front Sight, the finest firearms\u00a0 training school in the world.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
I want to be comfortable and skilled enough with the\u00a0 weapons I will be using that I can focus on the mission at\u00a0 hand (instead of worrying about whether or not I’ll\u00a0\u00a0 survive a lethal encounter), but for that to happen right\u00a0 now, I could use a little help. I appreciate anything\u00a0 that you can do on my behalf, and thanks again for making\u00a0 such a generous offer to the public, with such a patriotic\u00a0 goal behind it.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Yours truly,
\nPetty Officer Harrison J. Goforth<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nSo listen up…This is not a marketing letter.<\/p>\n
This is a letter for every kid down YOUR street who enlisted in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard to protect and defend you!<\/p>\n
This is a letter for every man and woman who will leave their family, business, and career to serve in the National Guard and Reserves!<\/p>\n
Damn it!\u00a0 These fine men and women deserve the best training possible.\u00a0 I wish I could give every one of them a Challenge Lifetime Membership for their willingness to step up and defend my freedom.\u00a0 By myself I can’t give away what our own
\ngovernment evidently can’t even afford to provide, but with your help I will give every serviceman and woman a membership at MUCH less than my cost and will make up the losses over time.<\/p>\nI’ll do my part. Can I count on you to do your part?<\/p>\n
A wise man once told me, “When it comes to freedom, you either wear the uniform or write a check to support those who do, because freedom is not free!”<\/p>\n
Well, here is what I am going to do and I want YOU and everybody you know to participate too.\u00a0 We can really make a positive impact on our service members lives and strengthen our country and community in the process.<\/p>\n
I’m going to severely discount the Front Sight Lifetime Membership that every member of the Armed Forces, Reserves and Guard Units should have– A Front Sight Challenge Lifetime Membership. I’m darn near giving them away and happy to do it because it is for all the right reasons.<\/p>\n
I’ll put my money where my mouth is to be part of the solution in making sure that our good men and women have EVERY opportunity to get the weapons training they need and deserve.<\/p>\n
AND I’ll reward YOU with a $6,900 Challenge Lifetime Membership at NO COST for helping me help the good men and women who chose to wear a uniform to protect our freedom.<\/p>\n
So take advantage of this offer and also forward this e-mail to everyone you know so they too can secure a $6,900 Challenge Lifetime Membership for Zero, Zip, Nada PLUS get $12,800 in valuable bonuses for immediate participation!<\/p>\n
