Answer 2

forget those answers....if you want to be a REAL sniper first join the marine corps, not the army. then just join the infantry (0300 mos) and be abad asss. wait for an indoc into the sniper platoon, try out, never quit and if you really want it bad enough you'll make it into the platoon. however thisdoesn'tt make you a sniper yet. you must then get chosen to go to sniper school (once again you have to be abad asss), the school is a grueling 10 weeks long, roughly 50% pass rate. then your a real marine scout sniper.

Answer 3

I know this......

A lot of people have the misconception that to be a good sniper, you have to be a good shooter. Shooting is only 20 percent of the course at the Army Sniper School. It takes a patient person, a disciplined person, a person who is used to working alone. In addition to marksmanship skills, the school instructs on detecting and stalking a target, and estimating the range of a target. The course also covers concealment and camouflage, as well as observation exercises.

The first U.S. Army Sniper School was initiated in 1955, right after the Korean War cease-fire. The present U.S. Army Sniper School was established at Fort Benning, Georgia, in 1987. The length of the school is 5 weeks. The Army National Guard Sniper School was established in 1993 at Camp Robinson Arkansas.
