Marine Corps Scout Sniper Training
Wednesday July 16, 2003
Due to the nature of the sniper's mission, they must be trained mentally and physically to operate independently forward of friendly positions on the battlefield. The Marine Scout Sniper School trains, not only Marines, but members of the other military services, as well. The Marine Corps Scout Sniper Course is broken down into three phases. The first involves land navigation and marksmanship. The second phase covers stalking techniques, field skills and call for fire rehearsals. The last encompasses everything from communication to surveillance performance. (Official USMC Photo)

well i think that marine scout snipers are the best!!it seems really intresting to me to know about what they do n how they do it!!
i would like to be a marine scout sniper
marine corps snipers are the best higher distance scores than the green berets or army rangers
I wish people would get over the “one service is better than the other service” crap.
None of the Military branches are “better” than any other branch. They are different, and train for different types of missions.
Marine Corps snipers do probably score higher than the average member of Army Special Forces (Green Berets), or Army Rangers. But I know of no data or study which suggests that they score higher distance scores than Army-trained *SNIPERS,* or Air Force *COUNTER-SNIPERS*, nor even Navy SEALS who have graduated from Sniper Training.
It’s time to knock off this “my service is better than your service” crap.
I agree, each branch has its own ups and downs, No one branch is better.
No marine would be here if the navy wasnt born, no army would stand if we didnt have a national guard. Though some branches do things diffrently we all are greatful that the other is there watching out backs.
I know of both marine service men and army, who say the air force is like an angle watching over them. And the army is glad to let marine go first and clean up the rest.
We have a moto’ You cover them (me) and they’ll (I’ ll) cover you.
But good old fashion compassion never did any harm. =)
