ROY DON SEAL A TS'C student just out of the Army displays
hiss shooting- trophies that were won as a team coach for Brook
Medical Center.
Roy Don Seal, Pistol
Champ Shoots for Grades
"Ex-Specialist-4, Roy Don Seal,
a freshman business administra-
tion major is one of the unusual
guys attending Tarleton who has
the air of a champion. Roy was
one of the Array's top pistol shots.
He and the team that lie formed,
trained, and captained, won many
of the Amy's most coveted shoot-
ing: cups. Now Roy is giving a shot
Bt college, and again he is proving
himself a champion.
When asked about the Army Roy
"replied, "It's a ood racket if you
play it or it's a good racket for
those who are complacent."
Evidently Roy was not com-
placent for he made his promotions
448 fast as the time allotment al-
lowed. He was it' the corpsman rat-
ing, and when asked how he ended
up with a pistol team he explained,
"When I found out the privileges
.sffered to crack shots, and already
liaving an enthusiasm for shoot-
ing, I was ready to give it my
test. Looking back I suppose I
tad nothing but enthusiasm to
offer. . However, the Army was
■willing to encourage marksmen.
They spent about $30,000 on my
shooting. When I began to win
some trophies I was put in charge
of training a team."
Roy took his team from Hcj. Co.
to BMAC team championships and
won small bore and big bore rifle
matches along with the pistol
championship. This victory caused
his promotion to coach of the
Brook Army Medical Center Pistol
Team. From there he gained the
highest classification granted a
shooter, the "Master" Marksman-
ship. But he says his most coveted
award came from winning the
4th Army's .46 Cal. Championship

When asked why he returned
to school after the Army, Roy an-
swered, "Money."
