Filecard information:
Code Name: MUSKRAT
SWAMP FIGHTER
File Name: Williams, Ross A.
SN: 564-6829-WR54
Primary Military Specialty: Infantry
Secondary Military Specialty: Social Services
Birthplace: Thibodaux, Louisiana
Grade: E-4
Muskrat spent his formative years up to his knees in one swamp or another, hunting raccoon, possum and wild pig. He was able to hold his own against poachers, 'gator skinners, moonshiners, escapees from the chain gangs, and smugglers. Ranger school and JWTC* seemed like summer camp to him. As far as he was concerned, they weren't teaching him anything exotic at all!
"If I had to go chase down Muskrat in the swamp, I'd give up before I started. He'd be sprinkling cayenne pepper in his tracks to throw the dogs off, laying false trails into water moccasin lairs, rigging deadfalls, setting snares, and having himself a good ol' time, never even workin' up a sweat. I'd just as soon go home and watch TV."
