A Day in the Life of a Marine Sniper 

It sexy isn't it?

A3 is more my style but he'll ain't it amazing, the M40 series feels like the perfect combo between your grand dads old hunting rifle that has never damaged and is the most durable thing in the world, and the new ultra modern rifles which break with every drop. As accurate as our new rifles, but as durable as our old ones.

You spend enough time in the Corps and you'll eventually sound Southern. I'd say too many southerners find their way into the Marines, but I love our southern brothers and most of em ended up in 0311 anyway.

@@chenzenzo most veterans are Texans since WW2 we’ve had the most people out of any other state too join the armed services

Bish Please we gonna edit that out

BioHazerd45 I have regretted things I haven't done more than the things I have done.

I just can`t decide if I want to join the Marines, or Naval Special Warfare.

Haystack Bunker ...Marines hands down, Semper Fi! The original special forces! The thing is, if you go into naval special warfare and you get injured and have to recycle or if you fail out and have to recycle, then what? You get sent to fleet as an undesignated rate and now you a sailor and you will be given some shitty MOS until you can re-enroll in NSW or until your service commitment ends. If you are in the Marines you can go for infantry, force recon, MARSOC, QRF, and a bunch of other MOS’s that are kind of parallel to special forces. And the cool thing about MARSOC (Marine Raiders) is you can apply from any MOS in the Marines, not just infantry or recon. And let’s be honest, Marine Raiders are just way cooler than Navy seals! :-). Anyway. Marines have and still do look at every marine as a special forces operator. That is why for the longest time they refused to create a “special forces” group within the Corp. Force Recon kind of became that but I don’t think anyone in the Marines officially designated force recon as special operations. With the addition of MARSOC Raiders in JSOC, Raiders within the Marines are kind of looked at like the Delta force of the Marines. Also, a little history lesson, the Marine Raiders were technically the first official commando “special forces”. They were formed in WWII by Roosevelt and the tactics and techniques they developed were adopted by the army and navy when they created their special forces. At the end of wwii the Marines disbanded the Raiders... and a few years ago they decided to resurrect the title and assign it to the MARSOC marine units.

Well, did you join?

if you are on our team lol

thšs perssonnn 0317 scout sniper

Same here. From what I have found out you go in with a infantry MOS then when you achieve the rank of Lance Corporal you can request sniper school. -Poolee Newkirk

Colby Sowter , Utilize the recruiters near you, they'll do everything they can to help you get into the Corps! Semper Fi, - Lance Cpl. Filipowicz

Colby Sowter join the infantry get to your unit. then you have a chance to do an indoc for scout sniper. pass that u go into sniper platoon and you wait until you get the go ahead to do sniper school.

Same here im gonna try for marsoc also.my advice is to just talk to your recruiter

did you enlist yet or finish recruit training?

It is possible to enlist & then become a Scout Sniper if you score well enough on your ASVAB & meet all the criteria. Scout Snipers must earn the rank of Lance Corporal, be selected by their battalion to join the scout-sniper platoon, and complete an approved scout-sniper course in order to receive this designation. 1.) I'm not sure if online college courses count as an accredited university, but I could be wrong. 2.) I don't think you can get a commission even through MCEP with an associates degree; I believe you need a bachelor's degree in something to do that. 3.) I'm pretty sure most Scout Snipers are active duty billets where they don't want you, an enlisted member, trying to be a part time college student to get a commission. 4.) I've never heard or seen a Scout Sniper Officer who's in the field pulling the trigger on the sniper rifle. I'm inferring from what you said that you're wanting to be a sniper for a reason. Scout Sniper's work in pairs normally, & have around 8-10 pairs in a platoon. Obviously commanded by a company grade officer, but you're a specialty billet, so you're gonna' be part of a weapons company most likely, & that weapons company is going to be apart of your whole battalion. I'd presume that the Platoon Leader position (Officer) would just come from a Recon Platoon leader MOS, or standard Infantry / Intelligence Officer. (Take this with a grain of salt) Those officers really don't have any business pullin' the trigger on a sniper rifle. They're issuing targets & relaying things / giving commands. 9/10 You & your spotter will have orders from that officer to be tasked as needed to another platoon in which that infantry officer just became your commander. You'll be taking orders from that officer most likely. I could be ENTIRELY wrong, I'm just a seventeen year old kid aspiring to be an infantry officer myself from the academy, but I'm just trying to give you my opinion, & thoughts. To be sure - although nothing is guaranteed - I'd go talk to your area's Officer Selection Officer & tell him / her what you'd like to do & how to do it.

Your did not join the reserves at 16

@@walkersamericanoutdoors7840 so I commented this on a marine video and I think that is where the confusion comes in. In Canada you are actually allowed to enroll in the reserves at 16 with parental consent and assuming you are also enrolled in high school.

@@shadowxpredatorful oh neat, yeah my eyes about crossed when i saw 16. Kerns, USMC

Can u still have a chance make it

Wacey Preston why not?

***** I couldn't reenlist cuz I have sleeves on both side of my arms

Every Marine is a riflemen some are more elite than others

+Minh Pham ah oh thanks

Every marine is first and foremost a rifleman, there are certain Mos's that are more difficult then others like a Marine Sniper.

@ViceLord22 Wrong... every Marine is a rifleman.

Every Marine is always a marine. That's their first job.
