Hey, My name is John.
long time lurker first time poster. always been shooting since I was 10 or so, joined the army and confirmed my personal thoughts that I'm good at shooting. Was wondering if anyone here would like to share their Sniper school experience, as I'm hoping to apply when we get back to the states (currently deployed to the 'stan) wondering what's it like, how hard is it, things that would make it easier to know beforehand.
I have an understanding of the mildot/milrad concept, FFP vs SFP, wind drift, lighting, and such. Just picked up my first precision rifle from another member on the 'hide. a .300 WM 26" sendero in AICS stock (thanks to TheShooter) I'll be able to run it thru it's paces when I get home. I have the fundamentals of shooting under wraps (ragged quarter size hole 100M when zeroing a stubby SAW, dead center)
all in all, if anyone can teach me (either here, PM, or E-mail) as much about being a US Army Sniper, as possible. to have a bit of a leg up on the competition, it would be VERY much appreciated!
