About the United States Marine Corps:
The Marine Corps defends the people of the United States at home and abroad. Within every Marine is the willingness to engage and determination to defeat any adversary, and it is this fighting spirit that allows us to fight and win our Nation’s battles.
The mission of the United States Marine Corps is made up of three promises: We make Marines, we win our Nation’s battles, and we develop quality citizens prepared to fight and win battles.
You don’t join the Marines-you become one, forged in the crucible of training aboard our recruit depots on Parris Island, South Carolina, and in San Diego, California, or through the dedication required of officer candidates at Officer Candidates School in Quantico, Virginia. Beyond the physical requirements, aspiring Marines must prove they have the honor, courage, and commitment to face and defeat any obstacle.
Today, more than 180,000 enlisted Marines and 23,000 Marine Officers serve in active duty or reserve forces on bases and in communities around the world, proudly carrying with them the core values of the Marine Corps.

Everyone is capable of doing something great. The first roadblock of achieving something is saying you can't.

[@MoneyMan8900]

OK so there's a few ways to go about becoming one. Thanks.

[@MoneyMan8900]

Just curious, I thought you had to have at least a few years of experience before becoming a scout sniper. And I figure that once you are a scout sniper you stay in the Marines for at least a little while longer and make a partial career out of it if not a career for life. So how was he a Marine for only 4 years and be a scout sniper?
