If he puts the can on a building he may miss and break a window. Shouldn't he put the can on top of persons head and shoot the person?

In addition to the shooting, practice moving accross a busy street without anyone seeing you, if they see you, you fail. Getting run over is also frowned upon.
Seriously, I was not a sniper, so I do not know, but I would assume that being a good shot and being stealthy is a pretty big requirement, but the biggest, and hardest is that you have the become a Marine first - focus on that and then worry about becoming a sniper. I think that there are a couple snipers on the board, but I may be confusing that with a different board.

Rule Two before you post a thread make darn sure that you have researched the forums so that you are not embarrassed by the fact it was asked a week ago
Sir, Yes Sir
ENOUGH SAID!
What you want to know is in the Poolee forum..do a search!

If you are to start shooting now do it the Marine Corps way. The Marines would just as soon start with a body that has niver shot a rifle before. That way they don't have to brake old shooting habits. When I went boot camp we had a kid from L.A. who had niver held a rifle before. He broke the Camp Mathews range record.

You dont want to become a sniper, But WTF if you do , you are chosen or you volunteered or recommended , I was recommended I was short met my future wife and I said hell no!
Lcpl D on the other hand said yes (good friend of mine) he was listed on the marinescoutsnipers.com web site, 2 confirms in Nic(I think they deleted the standing).
You wont pass indoc unless you the s h i t Chesty P. was made of , make 03 first then sit down and see what you really wanna do , sniper is no joke and its real dope , thats the scuttle butt any how. Sempir Fi

lol..they frown upon that stuff now huh .
Id go with what everyone else also said. but you gotta PT man , just frigging PT. The Marines wil teach you how to shoot. but not if you cant run.

Like ggyoung said, some of the best shooters I ever coached were the ones that had never fired a weapon in their lives. They had no bad habits (like Kentucky windage) to break. I wasn't a sniper by MOS, but I did coach and spot for them. It's amazing to watch one hit a 10" target from 1200 meters using 72mm optics.
