Question

How do you go from a marine to a sniper or can you go straight to sniper school?

Answer 1

Would you really be proud of being a sniper?  Living in a tree and killing people a half-mile away anonymously? I realize it has a certain necessity, but do you want to do it?

Answer 2

I am sorry that we have insulting tolls like Troy N   on this site.

Marine snipers are some of the most valuable people that we have in the military.

Snipers perform a highly valuable service in the field.

I recommend that you let your recruiter know that you want to be a sniper.

Also I recommend that you read as much material as you can find about Carlos Hathcock.

Carlos Hathcock is considered to be one of the greatest snipers of all time.

When Carlos Hathcock was a sniper in Viet Nam, he developed many of the techniques that you will be using as a sniper.

Most of of the people who will be your instructors were taught by Carlos Hathcock.

You will enjoy reading about Carlos Hathcock, he is one of the real heroes.

You will be very inspired by the story of Carlos Hathcock.
