Ever wondered what get's taught at Quantico for SOC/Scout-Sniper, etc.? Here it is. There's a lot of info here, so spend some of your free time exploring. Might want to start with the Combat Rifle Program.

Thanks for posting that. I will peruse the links. See all that has changed. Cannot speak for today but way back in the 1960s I shot a Match M-14 with the Marksmanship Unit there in a Regional competition. Some great ranges and people working them. I VIVIDLY remember the 1000 yd match course. A 30" bull looks like a pinhead from the firing point.

According to kid #1 it was a toss up between this and the mountain training for the toughest.
