Bradenton Florida
My name is David S. (22). Born in 02. Grew up in an orphanage in a foreign country. Currently reside in Bradenton Florida. American citizen. 5'11, 180 lbs @a real solid 15%BF. 3.5 college gpa with some of the hardest classes they offer. 90++ credit hours. don't drink at all but I do use vapes and weed because of high stress construction and kitchen jobs. I have been training by myself for over a decade for a career in the special forces. At age 8 I would stalk the coyotes in the woods undetected and have no fear response(mom does not know about my adventures, she would kill me if she found out). I'm naturally a stalker and observant type. My eyes are quite gifted. I have purposely isolated myself while training to mimick real combat situations and not have my mentality break (not talking to other humans for extended time) etc. Staying up for days on end in the woods in the night tracking animals without being detected, knot tying, map and compass etc etc etc.

I have been lifting weights HARD and running HARD since I was 15 years old. DL 275*10. SQUAT 275*10. BENCH 185*6. My best lifts @ age 19. I stopped lifting as much and focused on running/ being uncomfortable and being able to withstand going for days without food (really f***ing HARD). I have wrestling experience/ and some hand to hand combat experience. My physical and mental shape is not in question. I was born to be an assassin. Tier 1 delta level physical conditioning and metal fortitude. It's hard for me to quit because where I grew up so many people died before age 25 as well as my own personal near death experiences and it fuels the inferno within me. The only issue is that I need a mentor and coach that was/ is a sniper in the military or police force. I am naturally gifted for almost all the necessary skills a sniper would need. I took college math very seriously. I have blue eyes and many people comment on my gift for night vision.

With the marine corps doing away with the scout snipers, what branch should I join? Army? Rangers? GB? Seals? British SAS? I am 1000% capable of Delta. I have experienced numerous very serious life or death situations in the woods of NC, TN, and FL with no phone or contact and minimal medical supplies and have somehow been able to react quickly and apply my knowledge and come out on top when it mattered. I live and breathe this stuff. I plan on picking only one model sniper rifle/handgun combo and it being an extension of my body. sleeping with my rifle/trying to break it/ feeling all over the gun constantly with my eyes closed. I like pain and suffering in the name of standing for something I believe in.
Any advice for me guys? Sorry to ramble but I will 1000% be a tier 1 operator so your feedback I can share with my teammate's/ people I eventually train (I'll credit you guys). And I am so confident in my abilities that I don't expect to live past age 30.
GOD BLESS AMERICA. Love you fellow marksmen. Appreciate your experience, wisdom, and guidance. Feel free to comment on this because I will have my pen and paper ready.

If you're that bad assed, why do you need weed to get through a work day?

Way up there, ^^^^^^, you stated you use weed to get through stressful workdays, yet here ^^^^ you say your mental state is not in question.

WTF??

So many people died before age 25?
In Bradenton? Are you sure you're not from PalmGhetto or North Port? What kind of people do you hang around with? Nevermind, you're out in the woods for days at a time, tying animals up in knots.





What the fuck kind of White Claw fueled nonsense is this?
 
Ummmm use weed to cope and get through stress.... hang it up Billy you are no where near mentally tough enough for ranger school, BRC, BUD/s, SAS, SBS etc...

If you hurry you may qualify as a DEI hire at a fed agency
 

Quit the drugs.

No you won't.

That might be correct. But as it would happen, the guys with good abilities and training live the longest because they make the correct decisions most often.
If you don't expect to live past 30 you're a waste of time, resources, and $. The government expects you to put in many years after investing millions of $ into your training.
 

Diamond the CIA Doggie Daycare CIA Sniper candidate who was outed in a whole series of really appalling gay porn videos that, IIRC, Veer found and posted.

OP.... Drop the weed and vapes, etc. Like, now. It's not a disqualifier. But if you need chemical support to work stressful kitchen jobs... then you are going to be really challenged to pass anything beyond KP duty at basic.

The whole point of tier one units is MENTAL toughness. If you need stimulants to get through dish washing and line cooking, you won't make day one at any kind of selection.

As for SAS or a UK tier-one unit... as an American, they have no use for you. You need to be from the Empire. You could try the French Foreign Legion... but your own USG sort of frowns on that.

Well, that's all I can advise... Oh and since any tier one unit does a major background check... posting that you are smoking weed to get through KP.... won't end well. Forums and social media are like digital tattoos. They never, ever go away.

Good luck with your dreams! I am not going to suggest you have disqualified yourself. But you are not off to a good start! Here or trying to get into a SOCOM unit.

Cheers!

I'm giving you my backstory and relevant information with honesty. I'm not judging you, so don't judge me. No one is perfect. You can't help someone improve if that person isn't honest. You don't know my full story nor do I know yours. Don't just cherry pick my statements.I'm asking for advice and mentorship. I'm willing to learn and be taught. If any of you want to assist me with my goals that would be great. If not, it takes more energy to be negative than to be positive. Thanks. Appreciate it guys.
 
1. How much do you "Bench Press" ? (275 or GTFO......).

2. How many "Bow Kills" do you have to your name ?

3. How much "Concrete Work" have you done ?

3. Any relation to "Papa Rocks" ? Maybe you had him try and Mentor you, things didn't work out and now you're here (?)
 
I'm a former Army sniper. Here is what you need to do....

Join the army, take an 11X contract, have a high GT score so they don't send you to the mortars, (that will draw some hate). Go to a unit, speak to the guys in the sniper section, (inside the recon platoon in HHC). You'll know it when you see them, they have the biggest dicks in the Army. Tell them your intentions. Don't tell them any of the bullshit you told us here. They will tell you when they have another selection coming up, or not. Go back to your unit and learn the job. Don't suck. Be a stud, be good at everything. Fight the irresistible urge to buy a V6 Sportscar and marry a stripper. Don't get a DUI. Don't suck. When the opportunity arises to go to their selection, go, and don't suck. Get accepted. Work your ass off, prove you aren't an idiot, and wait for your school slot. Don't suck. Pass sniper school, enjoy the overnight doubling of your penis length and girth. Drink beer and fuck bitches.
 
1. I am lifetime drug free, my best bench was either 225 or 235 5 sec pause with ass to bench. for 1. (I have very Long arms).
2. I'm being honest, I have some exp with archery but as far as kills, I never used archery as a primary method for hunting. Should I? Do you recommend I should focus on archery for sniper school? Thanks
3. I have done very hard labor construction work. Concrete not a ton. Should I be a concrete labourer? Thanks
Not aware of the papa rocks reference at all.
 
Where’s that fucking tool that killed a Red Bull can at like 5 miles? These two sound made for each other
 
Once upon a time, I was in the National Guard. Seems like after Vietnam, the US Army had too many of us and the people of United States was eager to get rid of us, so they offered to discharge us into guard units. Well being tired it was not an opportunity to turn down, so off we went.

We had some good men in that guard unit. The leader of my unit was a Marine Veteran who was among the first t land at Chu Lai, and then worked his way through college walking a beat in downtown Monroe. (I don’t even like to think aout driving in downtown Monroe, in the 1950’s and beyond. But some of the men in charge were kind of not veterans, but just NG type men (if you catch my drift)

Getting to the point of this post

So, one day, we were standing in formation while this sergeant bragged in front of the formation that he would not be afraid to go to war with the company commander. My thought at that moment….”I’ve been to war, and I’m not so sure he is the man I would want to follow.” The OP may be a great soldier to be, but I’m not so sure, I would want him in my unit.

The OP may not like me, but big talk often is a way to hide big deficits.

OP, you don’t need a mentor, you need to settle down and to quote the movie, quit writing checks with your mouth that your body can’t cash.
