Wow, I haven't been on the internet in 3 days and look at all the fun I missed.

I didn't come here to start a fight, but I personally don't care for someone questioning my integrity or implying that I am a "wanna be."

dep214, I was giving info as requested and I included where and how I obtained that info. Perhaps I wasn't detailed enough for you.

In 1991 I joined the USMC, after 3 years I did a lateral transfer into the Army. In 1994 I went to SFAS (that is Special Forces Assessment and Selection for you civilians) that was conducted at Camp McCall, North Carolina. I was selected and in 1995 I graduated the 18B course (Weapons Sgt.) at Fort Bragg, NC at the JFKSWCS (John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School). In May 2000, I attended Scout-Sniper School at Camp J. T. Robinson, in North Little Rock, AR. My instructors conisted of one Marine who served as a sniper in vietnam, one SF Sniper who served in Bosnia, and a couple other instructors who shot competively. From early March 2002 until late July 2002, my team/ODA was sent to Afghanistan where we conducted operations mainly in the Khost and Jallalabad area where I had the opportunity to actually use the skills taught to me. My enlistment ended in 2003 and I left the Army an E-7/SFC.

dep214, I do know my way around a rifle and I for one would appreciate it if you would keep your derogatory statements to yourself. Feel free to PM me anytime if you need me to clarify anything for you, I think I would enjoy it.

You say that sniping has nothing to do with hunting. I beg to differ!
