Question

What is the best way to prepare yourself for scout sniper?

Answer 1

PT, PT, PT. It's all about stamina and endurance. You'll be taught how to use the weapon, Kentucky windage and sneak. You MUST be in good shape because the biggest part of sniper school is acting under extreme stress and being able to take the physical challenges.

Answer 2

-Be able to do 100 push ups in 2 min or less

-100 sit ups in 2 min or less

-Run 3 miles in 18min or less

-20 pull ups in no time limit

-Be able to hold your p**s/sh*t for long periods of time w/o getting all ancy.

-STUDY FOR THE ASVAB

-PAY ATTENTION AND APPLY YOURSELF WHEN LEARNING THE FUNDAMENTALS OF SHOOTING THE M-16!!! Believe it or not, a lot of people slack off during the "dry fire" and "posture practice" (first things you do) part of Recruit Training.

-Go Rifleman first

-Try and go Recon. If you make it, your odds of being accepted / completing S/S school will increase significantly.

-If you choose not to go Recon, volunteer for a Tour of Duty in Iraq or Afghanistan, preferably Iraq. This will show that you are 'broken in' and that you understand what it truly means to support your fellow infantry in a combat environment.

-Dont give up.

Good luck!
