Recon marine will now carry the legacy of marine corp snipers and infrantry marines have scout platoons

@@emmanuelawosusi2365 Recon marines will get a recon sniper course that is a few weeks long of much less intense training. They will not have scout sniper name or MOS.

6/96 straight from SOI not one second in a line company. Best thing God ever blessed me with.

War is a racket. You are a fool for joining.

Has warfare changed that much? I don’t understand why they are phasing them out

@@Scott_Buchanan - You guys should do a bit of research on how the services have changed throughout our history since WW2. We have technologies today that limits putting more men and women behind enemy lines for reconnaissance and surveillance. Yes, there are shortcomings with drones and satellites, but there is a lot that goes into placing small teams deep into enemy territory, so the day was coming that a number of combat roles would be either phased out or reimagined in favor of technology. The battlefield dictates how we will fight and the lean on technology to limit putting troops in high risk operations a reality that everyone must accept. That is why our LRSU (Long Range Surveillance Units where I served in previously) have been disbanded. The world of technology put us out of business just like the Marine Scout Sniper. This is a normal process that the service branches go through every 20-50 yrs. Hell, even the Marines have given up their armored force and that now belongs to the Army. The Army is right now restructuring since we are done with the conflicts in Iraq and A-stan and going back to the division model. This happens during peacetime and right now the future threat is fighting a near peer, so we will see all types of change going on. I've been through it myself during my 20+ yr career.

Good luck this summer, plenty of skill schools to learn from! go all the way to “being the best you can be” it will not be a disappointment.

Now infrantry has scout platoons and reconnaissance marines have reconnaissance sniper to carry the legacy

I got out in ‘22 from the Corps but still got some buddies that are still active in the recon world and was told they just don’t have the numbers for the classes anymore and recon leadership as a whole agreed not to make the classes “easier” to get more bodies in. But that’s one reason. From what I believe most of it is all political bs with the stars in DC. Marine corps leadership in DC has gone to shit

@@broedybelgarde4772 It’s good to hear that at least the Recon community is trying to maintain their standard.

@@williamsmith8790 that’s what I said aswell, I think another aspect is those units primarily just send guys to marksmanship courses and other courses like it and they stay with the team which has its plus and minus’s, you stay with your team the entire time which is good for new guys but with the course it’s 100 percent dedication for the duration of the course and you learn info by fire hose vs over time but yea like I said they’re not lowering the standard to please numbers and 0317 getting fazed out is a result of that… it sucks but it’s the best course of action

Great evening

Of course.

If you can pass the observation criteria and stalk without them giving you away then yes. It does make life harder though.

@@1BeGe of course it does

Cool

It’s mostly a worthless skill set these days

@@TheInfantry98 how is know how to use a map bad?

@@emmanuelawosusi2365 its not that map reading isnt useful, its that orienteering (what land nav courses actually are) as in using a map and compass to navigate hasn't been done in actual combat for a while. They dont even provide the materials to do it in actual combat, where you would actually need it if your gps went down. So its a good skill to have if technology suddenly failed but even if technology did suddenly fail you still wouldn't be able to use it because they dont give you the items required. In fact my squad leader asked for one and they basically told him no and acted like he was a terror threat for even asking. They act like mgrs maps have the nuclear launch codes written on the back and isnt something you can print with Google earth.. It would be like qualifying with a slingshot 4 times a year told that its a required course and u arent fit to be an infantryman if u cant pass and then being issued a rifle and banned from having a slingshot and called an idiot if u ever ask about it.

You should of brought your protector, map pens, compas, etc with you to combat, you must of just been a shitbag and wanted people to hold your hand and give you everything you should of known you already needed

No

Infrantry marines have scout platoons and reconnaissance marines have reconnaissance snipers

@@emmanuelawosusi2365You keep repeating it like it means something, when it really doesn’t. Regardless, when the MOS is gone, so will the knowledge and skill sets that come with it. The Army has a similar approach to what the USMC is going to and I will tell you from personal experiences from serving in both USMC and USA infantry Battalions, the Army approach sucks. Hopefully, when the Marine Corps figures it out, it won’t be too late.

Scout snipers weren't productive the commander enough information

Barrett MK22 (based on the MRAD). Chambered .300 Norma Mag or .308 (7.62 x 51mm NATO), but also can change out the barrel and bolt head for .338 Norma Mag.

@@user-xw7rx1hn4y nice

@@user-xw7rx1hn4y nice

Definitely just a FILBE…. It just looks different because they use the farther set of clips on the base to rap the head pouch all the way around. I’ve always preferred this way. Learned it in SSP

I believe they are being folded into MARSOC.

@@TheCCBoi More so into Recon battalions, not MARSOC

@@nvm_val Ahhh, makes sense.

​@@TheCCBoiNEGATIVE 👻 RIDER!! It does NOT make sense at all whatsoever, for STA PLT ( Surveillance, Target Acquisition Platoon) was the Element in the Marine Corps Infantry Rifle Battalion , that brought long distance Marksmanship and DM, Reconnaissance Capabilities to the Infantry Line Companies, and, that leaves the " Grunts" vulnerable, while Reconnaissance Marines and Marine Raiders ,will have Scout - Sniper Capability for SOC/ SOF Missions note aligned with MAGTF Mindsets.

There is a lot more to being a sniper than shooting. Getting enough quality guys you have to have work arounds, plus you can focus your scope.

Because scout snipers do both

​@emmanuelawosusi2365 how does that answer make sense? If scout snipers did both they'd have kept scout snipers then. Clearly they didn't.
