Muskrat spent his formative years up to his knees in one Louisiana swamp or another, hunting raccoon, possum, and wild pig. He was able to hold his own against poachers, ‘gator skinners, moon shiners, escapees from the chain gangs, and smugglers. Army Ranger school and JWTC (Jungle Warfare Training Center) seemed like summer camp to him. When he was tapped for Night Force duty, he was sent to advanced night warfare school. By the time he graduated, he was teaching the experts a thing or two about nighttime swamp fighting!

From Lt. Falcon’s Files:
“If I had to go chase down Muskrat in the swamp at night, 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 dead-falls, setting snares, and having himself a good ol’ time, never even working up a sweat. I’d just as soon go home and watch a football game on TV.”
