			== Billy's Diary ==

			My name is Billy Hawkins and I'm from Franklin, Tennessee. I'm 33 years
			old, I stand 5 feet 10 inches tall and I weigh 155 pounds. My build is
			lean and strong and I'm not too easy to pick out of a crowd 'cuz I look
			like a fair amount of other folks.

			I grew up shootin' guns. My dad Edward (ex-US Army Ranger and retired
			cop) was always workin' with guns and thought it'd be a good idea to
			teach me how to use one as a youngin', so he did. I took to 'em like a
			duck to water and we used to practice shootin' together as much as we
			could.

			While Pops was fine with shootin' the same damn targets at the same damn
			distance most the time, I got bored with that. I kept tryin' to shoot
			things from a wider distance every time I'd go out and practice, and I'd
			hit those farther out targets pretty damn square in the middle every
			time.

			Pops was impressed with my skills and started callin' me “Billy the
			Kid”, “Wild Bill” and “Hawkeye”. He also said I ought to sign up for the
			military when I finished high school and maybe even be a Ranger like
			him.

			I enlisted for four years in the Army after high school and while all
			the PT kicked my ass at first, I got used to it and grew to enjoy it
			after some time. Just after I made it to PFC, I wanted to test myself
			more, so I signed up for Ranger School.

			Ranger School made Army PT look like a walk in the park, but I got
			through it without dyin'. As a Ranger, my long-range shootin' skills
			came into play during my overseas tours. I was a sniper in Operation
			Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, with my
			longest recorded kill being about a half a mile away – there've been
			longer since, now that I've got access to better rifles.

			After a year as a private and three years as a Ranger (promoted to
			Specialist), I decided to re-enlist and sign up for Delta Force. I
			figured my snipin' skills could be useful on more troublesome operations
			than shootouts in the desert, and I was right. I saw a lot of shit that
			I can't even talk about!

			With lots of dicey operations under my belt and four more years of
			service time to Uncle Sam on the books, I left the military and became
			an independent contractor working for the highest bidder at the age of
			26.

			I did that for a couple years before meeting up with the current cell
			and I made some lifelong friends on those adventures. If I ever need to
			get some info on a job goin' down, call in an airstrike, or have someone
			to go drinkin' all night with while playin' Texas Hold 'em and cussin'
			at each other in Norwegian, Uncle Derwood's got my back.

			As far as advantages and disadvantages go, I'm a sniper and I shoot very
			well. I'm very capable of surviving some serious shit and I've got a
			high pain threshold – Ranger and Delta Force training wasn't fun and I
			made it through without too much suffering. I'm able to scarf down MREs
			and drink some mighty foul liquor without my stomach givin' me hell, so
			it must be made of cast iron or somethin'.

			I'm good at keepin' a level head when shit's goin' down, though not as
			much when nothin' much is goin' on – I get antsy. Too much downtime
			leads to compulsive gamblin' and drinkin', so it's good to keep me
			workin' and busy. I've also been known to win a fistfight or two during
			a night of heavy drinkin'.

			I do well with shootin' 'cuz I know I need to slow down my breathin' and
			my movement so I can focus on what's on the other end of my scope and
			squeezin' the trigger.

			My physical attributes aren't too out of control – I'm strong, but not
			burly; I'm fast, but not speedy; I'm smart enough to stay alive when
			shit's going down but I can't recite any Shakespeare for ya; I am
			resilient though. I can take a punch or a graze from a bullet and keep
			movin' forward.

			I like to travel pretty light aside from my rifle and ammo. I keep my
			kevlar gear, a change of clothes, some MREs (I got a taste for 'em in
			the military), and a canteen in my pack. I also keep a utility knife in
			my pocket when I need it.
