How to graduate 1st in bootcamp?

[Ratcliff]

First of all, I'm very interested in becoming a Scout/ Sniper. I want to excel and be the best in bootcamp to imrpove my chances in getting into Scout/ Sniper school. I read in the Scout/ Sniper sticky that 0341 was best to make it into Scout/ Sniper because of the math and training you do. Is it?

Uh, what can I do to better prepare myself to become the best in bootcamp? Besides PT.

Let's see, what do I think of when I think of a Scout/Sniper?

Oh yeah, I think of someone that observes their surroundings and is willing to go the extra mile to accomplish their mission.

Since your mission in this case is to find an answer to questions that have been asked no less than 900 billion times on this forum, I'd assume that an aspiring sniper would be able to observe this forum and find the answer.

There's this top-class military simulation (with Marines, no less!) called Call of Duty 4 that gives excellent insight into becoming a USMC Scout/Sniper. Most of the skills in that game are directly transferable and as real as it gets in the field. Make sure you play in "hardcore" mode so other people you know you're the best of the best.

That's debatable.
It doesn't really make a difference as long are you are in the 03 field.

You still have almost 9 months to pick up extracurricular activities. Do something that demonstrates Leadership in your Community. It will build confidence and get you noticed. Pick something that you can get your Heart into.

And read all the Poolee Knowledge you can find here. We've been around for years answering hundreds of Poolee questions.

I wouldn't know where to start or look for community leadership. Fortunatly, confidence is not an issue with me. But I do need to get noticed.

lol nice. I think he realized you were kidding... I think...

But if anything just know your knowledge. You will learn it there but it'll ease the burden from what I hear. Worry about getting through and helping out your fellow recruits. You'll be an honor graduate if they feel you should.

Lord knows there's a lot of differences between the Marine Corps and the Army.........But, every sniper I met in the Army was quiet. They were the guys that half the 11B's took for admin pukes until someone cared enough to notice the tab. No bragging, no cocky stories about how 'bad-ass' they are. On top of that, I don't think I met a single one that shot 40/40 on qual.
