want to become a sniper?
« on: March 11, 2009, 05:32:23 PM »
many people have been asking
how does one become a sniper?
can i be trained in the sniper mos?
and the answer is yes, if someone wants to they can be trained.

how does one become a sniper... lots of training and reading.
a sniper, in my view, is a highly trained person with an array of skills and abilities.
some can be trained, others you have to firgure it out on your own.

skills i look for in a sniper trainee.
any weak areas you will be trained in.
radio use - need to know how to communicate
squad roles - a proficent sniper needs to knows each persons role in a squad and can fill in for any role.
teamwork - a sniper is not always off and alone, squad formation includes a sniper.
leadership - a sniper, being highly trained, will always seek to work with other members of their team to help them.
field craft - a sniper must  know how to use the enviroment around them in order to succeed
equpiment - a sniper must be able to care for their own equipment, and sometimes others people's. snipers use both high                   
                 powered rifles and aeg's as the situation demands.

want to know more?
pm me.

   If you throw out a date that you want to train on and I am available I would be more then willing to assist.  I just got my rifle up and running again and it needs to get a few full mags through it at a human target to get it perfect again. >:(

Hey can anyone train me to become a sniper? I'm not sure why I need any training, I know most about sniping than most people, but if that's what I need to qaulify I want to do it.  So anyone that can train me would gladly be accepted.  By the way I now own a M4A1-CQBR and I use .25's for accuracy, I hope my new rifle isn't a problem to sniping skills, but I plan to buy a scope for it, I'm just using iron sights for now, but I have great eye sight.

great!
but i just want everyone to understand why we ask that marksmen be trained.
it is becasue we allow them to use a rifle that is higher power than anything else on the field.


requirements to enlist with the marksmen.
we accept any willing person into training.
what You choose to do from there is solely upon YOU!

being medic is not only being fast but assessing the situation as well.  for instance, Blackjack is not the fastest guy in the world but he can read the terrain and make it work to his advantage.  he times his sprints really well, such as he will move right as another squad starts firing at the enemy.  there are a lot more things to take into account than speed.
