Snipers in SF
 

I tried searching for this but nothing came up so I figure it's OK to ask about it.

I just finished WLC in Utah and they had some SF guys training out there doing a sniper course. Do all SF soldiers get to go through this course?

One of the instructors (OPFOR) was about to throw a simulation grenade and those guys came running down from the mountains and fell into the back of our formation in order to cross a bridge. It was pretty funny since the instructor said "BOOM" instead because he was worried he would get shot since they didn't have blank adapters on their weapons.

Think about it. :rolleyes:

Next unnecessary question. ;)

:rolleyes:

I don't know too much about how things inside SF work. I never saw a Sniper MOS so that's why I was asking. It seems that it would go along with being an 18B though.

What do don't know will hurt you...
 

This is not the place for idle questions.

I would suggest you start reading and stop posting then.

Where is LongRange 1947 when we need him!!! ;)

"I just finished WLC in Utah and they had some SF guys training out there doing a sniper course. Do all SF soldiers get to go through this course?"

Yes. When you finish the Q-course and get to your assignment you will go visit your new Bn CSM to find out which company you are going to. That is a good time to ask him when you start SOTIC. May as well ask him when you start MFF while you are at it. :p

Utah Sniper???
 

Before tapping on keys to ask a question regarding training locations and Team Task Organizations, as a 21y.o. one should stop and think in the same manner as before you open your mouth to speak. Although the internet is full of misnomers, there are truths out there. I would suggest using one of the various search engines, local book store, and/or library to find information. Afterward, address the forum with educated questions to dispel anything that seems questionable.

my .02 cents

rltipton,

Go easy, you're just confusing the lad. He's probably lying in a fetal position under his bunk wondering if maybe MFF should come first. If others read this, they might think we are a terrible lot.

Haha Sorry, didn't mean to come across mean-spirited. I am sure by the time he gets that far he'll know the person to ask is the Team Sergeant! :munchin

Up there with one of our weak swimmers asking what he had to do to get a CDQC slot:confused:

No problem, you guys are doing fine. :D

Sniper is a sensitive subject not discussed with unknowns. You can read open source and find what you need if you really wish to have the knowledge that is available.

We will not confirm wild ideas nor "humorous situations".

Do a quick search and you will find a lot of info that is open source.

Hey Severe is this the first question you have ever had for the QP's on this fourm ?

There's only one way to find out Son.
And it ain't on line.;)

If there is a limit to questions... shouldn't there be a limit to meaningless answers as well?

I did a search through the search engine on this site and nothing came up. I didn't think I needed to go through Google since I thought forums were for asking questions and helping others... :confused:

Yes, this is the first question I've had. None of the books I've read said anything about SOTIC.

Amen.

Son,
 

Son, you are not off to a good start.

This is not askjeeves.com...

You need to develop some situational awareness.

It amuses us, get over it.

Where does it say we'd "help"???

Special Forces Questions

This is a forum where civilians can "ask" the Special Forces soldiers past and present "Special Forces" related questions.

Those questions are then answered by Special Forces soldiers, period.

Questions asked by the general public should NOT be answered by the "general" public.

If you do not have the title of "Quiet Professional" you may ask a question, but leave the "answers" to the QP's.

Yes, this is the first question I've had. None of the books I've read said anything about SOTIC.

I'm glad to see the classification of "SECRET" is working.


Amen.

Prayer will not help you here.
Team Sergeant

So sorry you found my answer meaningless. :rolleyes:

I will try to do better in the future but right now I have a sniper course to teach. :munchin

I think Severe would wet himself if he knew who you were......;)

Amen,to that......................;)

Big Teddy :munchin

I wan't my beer for his first question. :)

...Much...?
 

..not "Too" Much more like not much at all.

LR,

I think you should give this kid his first free sniper training......:cool: Send him out about 1,000 yards and then let him put an apple on his head.....;)

Big Teddy :munchin

18C Question
 

C.A.R.V.E.R.

Maybe the kid can figure it out?

WD

I wasn't saying everyone had meaningless answers.

If nothing else, at least you guys got some amusement out of my question.

I won't post again until I have a question that is worthwhile and after I've done my research on it. Thanks to all of you.

Good Idea, this isn't your week to hog the O2............

Awwwww that's sweet.:) There is hope for this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZxfRpL5GVo:p

Heck, I know who Rick is and he makes me wet myself.

I was thinking the same thing, just didn't want to be the first to admit it.

I've never met Rick personally,but from what you guys have said so far you've got me wetting my pants just thinking about it...............;)

Big Teddy :munchin

And you've got me wetting my pants just thinking about you wetting your pants.
Or maybe I'm just old.:eek:
:D

Thats what Depends are for...............:D

Dang. I thought they were disposable turbans.
You learn a lot on this site.:D

Have you figured out what the acronym C.A.R.V.E.R., stands for?

And a new line of questioning begins. :munchin :D

Do all Special Forces Soldiers go thru your Sniper Course:D

If they pass the pre-reqs and the shoot in. :munchin :D

The kid has gone underground. Several QP's chimed in with PM's when I first posted the question days ago. I was hoping to hear from the kid with an attempt to answer the question, when he first asked if all SFer's went to school, or only the 18B's, blah, blah, blah.
