Exclusive access: Royal Marines sniper trainees enter skills phase | Part two

[@davidhunter553]

You gotta feel safe with this type of training for our elite Soldiers. Be proud of our Forces

[@MaxwellDurrans]

it's a shame peoeple are more obsessed with money more than the sklls and qualifications you gain from military service. Look here. If you some how get into the special forces or in elite units like royal marines , they give you free career paths from courses you do. I'll list a few of them right now. Parachuting teacher, Diving instructor, Canoeing teacher, Bodyguard, rock climbing teacher, ski teacher, Survival instructor, Jungle warfare instructor. Those are all from direct qualifications you get, Not to mention all the careers you could do with just the skills without the on paper labels of skills. And last of all the discipline and skills you gain will make it much much much easier to make money with starting a brand new business.

[@SodaPrezsing]

@@MaxwellDurransAll those things need funding from the MOD, which has since been cut from back in the day

[@MaxwellDurrans]

@@SodaPrezsing not true. Its mandatory for the special forces to do those courses, it's literally part of their selection and ongoing training. I'm not talking about conventional forces. I know they don't have the funding for all soldiers. Even without all those things I listed you get my point. Joining the military is a investment for a lifetime that will shape you into a glorious life. Assuming you don't leave by getting discharged from PTSD or severe injury but hey look at Jason Fox.

[@SodaPrezsing]

@@MaxwellDurrans Most soldiers aren’t SF come on lad Regular Infanteers should have access to atleast some of these, adventure training being a big pull for lads coming from disadvantaged backgrounds But those have gone away due to cuts

[@Tom-hl7wc]

You generally end up joining the military because you don’t have any other options or you want to escape your situation. That’s what I did. If I could talk to my younger self I’d tell him never to join the military and stay in school. You are just a tool. A useful idiot to be used and abused by the ruling elite. Then you get out with little to no transferable skills.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

I served several years in Recce Pln (also COP in Northern Ireland) . Infantry. Wasn’t a sniper. But the advent of drones is a surveillance game-changer.

[@aidencox790]

Like black and white. Total game-changer if no forms of interference but still less possibility with eyes, optics, thermal, etc in a rotating combo.

Passed the RM Sniper course in 1977. Back then it was the L42A1, basically a modified Lee Enfield. Obs was the hardest part of the course. Definitely a hard course to pass, but one of the best tests of soldiering skills there is.

I did one a 1 week induction cadre while serving with 1Dwr in the early 90’s firing the L96 sniper rifle,the instructor was a royal marine commando colour sergeant,I did ok on the shoot but I felt I wasn’t good enough in other areas ie judging distance,stalking etc there’s no room for error on a course like this,embarrassed to say but I sacked it felt I was nowhere near skilled enough to pass

Difference between RM scout sniper and regular army sniper?

Used to be about 8 quid a week 🙂

[@parky5329]

Marines are called scouts to 😂 I believe this is a new thing, like many other Amerifications! 😬though could be very much wrong.

[@Barrybud2816]

There's a massive difference in role, capabilities and unit outputs between RM and infantry therefore the same will transition to sniper roles. Infantry snipers are very good but they don't have the same job as royal marines (outside of basic soldiering). The RM sniper course is also world renowned, the reason both sas & sbs load Thier lads on the course.

[@parky5329]

@@Barrybud2816 apart from shooting from helicopters, which is a relatively new thing as far as I'm aware, there is no difference. Same role, same capability, which this video confirms.

[@Barrybud2816]

​​@@parky5329a few minute video shows everything they do does it ? Basic sniper stuff is the same anywhere. the fact is the RM and the infantry have different roles so Thier respective snipers will have different roles, even if the basics of sniping are the same. RM snipers do a maritime element (shooting from helicopters, at sea, at moving targets) and it's not new, hostage rescue sniping (that is new), high angle (mountain) and extreme cold weather. All are different elements to the job that requires different training to what an infantry sniper will get.

[@thediner8929]

Whole points of training like these are to know what to do when the technology fails.

[@jamescrydeman540]

I don't mean to alarm anyone but did anyone else see those bushes moving at the start?

[@leangrypoulet7523]

The famous story of the Royal Navy pilot shot down over Bosnia during the Balkan conflict; found himself in the middle of nowhere after ejecting, wondered how he was going to extract, when (in his words), “a bush appeared and spoke to me with a ‘Hereford’ accent”. That bush also gave him a phone to call his family and tell them he was ok before extraction began. 👍

Sigh, troubleshooting was their word. I heard it from Mike. On what I was doing with Andy to figure out limitations and work around them or come up with new ideas/gear improvements. It is a bit more than troubleshooting. They wanted me to comment on note taking too, or at least one of those english sounding guys. It sucks. Go draw a picture of the target. That is a good idea.

[@Panacea9]

Out of this. Take only what is needed. You dont need a suit, ive tried one on, it takes time to get in and out and then the terrian is never optimal for it where your shot is. There is never any actual point to it in real life combat and it is always a hinderance. Probably aim for 100% on easy target shots though. If the gear allows it. Should be easy. Get rid of the picture drawing and note taking and raise your bar to 100%
