Sniper School - Part 5

(cont.)
Travel to Fort Benning, GA, where soldiers, fresh from basic training, are trained in marksmanship, intelligence gathering, camouflage and survival in a grueling 5-week program. These soldiers are the Top Guns from their units. They`ve been selected to enter one of the Army`s most difficult training schools - Sniper school.
Sniper school is part boot camp, survival school and psychological stress center. If these soldiers graduate, they will become part of one of the most elite groups of U.S. soldiers.

A lot has changed in the twenty years since I took that training. One thing is that they are giving you more time. I was trained for only THREE weeks. But then again they didn`t have as much night fire going on back then. Night vision was the newest thing and not everyone had night vsion goggles let alone the starlight scopes. Also we had smaller class with a lot more one-on-one traiing. But then again I wasn`t trained at Benning. I was trained at the unit I was stationed at while guarding Nukes in the worlds largest ashtray. My instructor was an CMH winning sniper out of Viet-Nam. To be honest I graduated third out of ten. We started with 25. During our training we were allowed 4 hours of rest in every twenty four hours. Yeah rest, not sleep, just rest. You learned to take any 15 minutes you could squeeze in keeping one eye and ear open. You had to be fully alert before approaching the lane. they checked this by a sign-countersign. If you failed that twice it was an instant drop. So yeah I have the greatest respect for anyone who had survived this training. Great post even if they couldn`t show even half of what actually goes on during training.
