Last week an old buddy posted a photo album (http://imgur.com/a/20wzq) on reddit about my organization, the International Anti-Poaching Foundation (IAPF), and an AMA was requested- so I'm here to take your questions.
My journey: I was a naval special operations sniper in the Australian Defense Force. In 2008 I completed my 12th tour of duty in Iraq as a so-called mercenary, and I felt that there had to be more to life than living out a game of Halo. After traveling around the world, I ended up in Africa. A trip to the bush left me face-to-face with the horrors the world’s wildlife is facing from poaching. I gave up everything my previous life had provided for me and started the IAPF.
IAPF’s mission is conservation through direct action. We aim to stop the hemorrhaging at the front lines of the world wildlife war. We do this by adopting a structured, military–like approach to conservation. This includes using correct levels of force to capture hardened poachers.
Since taking over security operations in Victoria Falls, not one rhino has been poached and the population of critically endangered black rhino has increased by 133% since 2010.
We now run operations covering more than 1 million acres and have supported 28 other initiatives. With your support, we can shift it up a few gears.
I have gotten a private donor to match donations made over the next few days so that up to a total of $10k will be matched. This will help us support rangers at ground level along the South Africa/ Mozambique border who are fighting to protect the world’s largest remaining rhino population. AND You asked for us to accept bitcoin reddit, so we listened.

Go ahead and ask me anything! I’ll be here for as long as it takes to answer your questions, or until the beer runs out, whatever comes first!

Hi Reddit,
My name is Thad David and I'm a former Recon Marine Sniper during the Iraq War. A couple years ago I was contracted to do security work of the cost of Africa, basically scaring away pirates. While I was living on one of the big cargo ships down there, I came up with the idea for my mobile video game.
I have been working on it constantly for almost two years now, and it is getting closer to being released. I'm pretty stoked to share with you one of our first gameplay videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkGfbF05g8Y
Feel free to ask me anything- from my experience being a sniper in the Iraq War to moving away from a military career and starting a video game company. I would love to hear what you think about the game.

Maybe I’m just subcategorizing too far, but it seems to me these types of songs have a very unique sound (piano and horns with electric guitar, clean, complex percussion, etc.) that doesn’t fit with classic rock, isn’t new wave music, and certainly doesn’t fit in with the hair metal that evolved in the mid-1980s. Does this type of music have a genre or a name for the period?

Im pretty sure they have a kid together but they aren’t dating or anything. They both have fucked up hair and kinda look like carnival workers. Anyone know who im talking about?

Bungo smushed her name together, but still cool. Not sure what this might imply, but still neat. Rhea Silvia
Fun fact 1: Rhea Silvia’s husband is Mars, god of war
Fun fact 2: Romulus and Remus claimed to be long long princes of a fledgling and yet unnamed Rome, raised by a she wolf.
