Question
Hi my name is Hunter. I am doing a project on what I whant to be when i grow up. I whant to be a scout sniper in the marines. What kind of schools will i have to attend, what kind of training will I have to have, and how much of it to become a marine scout sniper. PLEASE WRITE BACK.

Answer
hello Hunter:
  Well buddy, I can answer some of your question and direct you to where you can find the rest of the answers you want. First you would have to attend basic training, then probably Advanced infantry training, then maybe jump school, then scout sniper school. You do understand that I wasn't in the marines. I was in SEAL team. So all the info I gave you is really just my best guess. My advice to you is to visit your local marine recruiter and simply ask them what is involved in becoming a scout sniper. Good luck and I hope you don't give up on your dream.
