Description
English: Corporal Nicholas W. Abey, a Houston native and a scout sniper with the Scout Sniper Platoon, Echo Company, grabbed the first spot he could find to sleep after a long night of patrolling. The snipers with 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, moved roughly 12 miles with more than 100 pounds of equipment without being detected to support missions during Operational Double Check, an ongoing operation to promote legitimate governance and security within the Musa Qal’eh district by removing insurgent support and establishing new Afghan Uniformed Police security posts within the area. Abey and his fellow snipers operate under extremely stressful situations and often stay in concealed locations for a number of days without moving. Sleep is as valued as hot showers after three weeks without running water when these Marines are afforded the opportunity to do so.
