I need a mentor so I can be prepared for sniper School

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.
People always told me growing up to follow where your skills, passions, and talents align to. I think as a marksman I would be most happy and I wouldn't dread going to work everyday like so many people do. I appreciate your criticisms; in fact, I want to know where and how I fucked up so that I can be the best I can be. So I appreciate it. Everyone is entitled to their own respective opinions. Thanks.
 
Found the mentor!!!!!

Wait a fucking minute.

Did he post this in the Pit, or was it moved?

If he posted it here, we're 100% being trolled. If it's already been moved, which admin is falling out of their seat laughing at this shit show?
I didn't move it.......


But I am falling out of my seat LMAO.
 
"I do use vapes and weed because of high stress construction and kitchen jobs."

"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)"

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



"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."


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?
I did not grow up in Bradenton. I grew up in an orphanage in a foreign country. Most people from my childhood aren't here with me today sadly. I'm not badass. I never claim to be better than anyone else I just try to be the best that I can be.
 
... I'm not badass. I never claim to be better than anyone else I just try to be the best that I can be.
...but you write:
...I am 1000% capable of Delta...

SOF require zero history of mental illness & a high degree of Intelligence, maturity, equanimity, and also basic common sense.

Then specific & generalized operational skills.
 
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.


Okay. First up, you come here asking for help/advice but get butt hurt that guys are judging you. All we can do to help you or give you advice is evaluate (aka JUDGE) you on what you post.

Do you have any pictures in your ghillie suit?

One thing to remember, this site is full of guys that are "BTDT" (been there, done that)... Most here have seen guys in life come and go and on this site come and go. You mentioned vapes and weed. If you are legit, how do you expect to go days in the bad guys back yard and be undetected for days if you can't vape or smoke to deal with the stress?

Again, if you are legit, I would suggest a hard self evaluation before going any further.

Listen, at this point, I hope you're trolling us. If this is genuine, you basically accomplished the equivalent of wrapping yourself in ribeyes and jumping into a tank filled with great white sharks. If by some chance you mean what you're saying, then stop posting and start reading. In a decade of study you'll have an elementary understanding of the ballistic arts. If you haven't figured it out yet, you've jumped into a melee with the saltiest sum bitches the internet has to offer.

If you're bicycle boy.... fuck you, I'm at $790 for the Bergara.
 
Surprised op wasn't heading off to Ukraine to fine tune skills 1st......

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 ag

Wait a fucking minute.

My name is David and I can confirm that Im being serious about all this; however, after seeing how hostile this sub thread is, idk if I posted this in the right place. I'm asking for practical advice and encouragement, not slander. Thanks

You all should be ashamed of yourselves. He came to the most prominent place on the web to ask how to be a sniper, and it's even in the name, Sniper's Hide...
Bake him some fucking cookies.

This is the pit, and nobody makes it out alive. He said he's 1000% sure he will be a tier 1 operator, so he gets what he gets.

If you haven't figured out this place is a shithole of the internet, then you aren't smart enough yet to achieve your stated goals.

your not going to make it.

Might as well heat up the nail on your rig and rip dabs until you give yourself a mild lobotomy

You aren't going to make it either. Im sure you're cool at whatever elementary school you're the librarian of, but you're way too fucking soft and ideological for reality. You've certainly never been within a mile of the actual military. Calling yourself anything with "Ronin" in the title makes me want to kick you down a flight of stairs. I remember last week you were telling us why we should send all of our money to the Ukraine. Go back to bakershide.com and continue discussing the correct amount of merengue on a coconut cream pie..

Oh you are soooo easy. I don't even get gratification dominating you, it really is like beating on a mentally handicapped person.

Dominating me? Literally the gayest shit I've seen all day. You couldn't dominate a 6" subway sandwich if you had all afternoon and a puke bucket. I guarantee you drive a fucking car with excellent fuel economy and get bullied on the road. Your posts wreak of an unfulfilled marriage and a salary that is lower than your peers. You post like you're the reason hotel rooms have chairs in them.

Please try to fuck with me. I have a few minutes this evening to teach you what dominance looks like.

You really should take inventory of your present quality of life if this is what you think is an important use of your time. I've already beaten you.
 
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.
I can tell you right now, if youre not placing 20 yards of concrete a day, youll never be Delta. We have a lot of snipers and Delta here, all were previous concrete workers.

Also, the 275lb bench is not a recommendation, but a requirement.

Bow kills.....you need at least six.

If you get in contact with a recruiter, they can verify these 3 primary requirements!

Good luck dude!

Oh, and welcome to the hide....we are not woke, and we are no fucking joke!

@david.stad14 Assassins aren't born, they are made. I am an international assassin. If you PM me I'll begin your training.
God damn it, I hate it when I'm right.

This shit right here.

I hope your ability to reproduce was destroyed by an unfortunate gasoline fight accident. That shit literally gave me Forrest Whitaker eye. Your mom used to tell me that we shouldnt hate people, but man, you're trying so fucking hard.

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.
David - Listen to this guy, he is solid!

This dude never backs down from fight and will meet you half way to prove it!
 
Literally you an hour ago... "It’s odd you’d post a gif of yourself, but word the post as though it’s someone else."

And then YOU go and post this shit like it isn't your FB avatar. Sinner...
I’m not that fat, not that old, and not gay. But it’s the holidays, Santa fetishes are big sellers, and $20 is $20
 
David writing this-- can't copy paste on phone not sure how. In reply: I don't know much about the internet, so if I posted this wrong please tell me. I'm not a stoner. I don't use drugs as a cope. I feel so fuckin awful after working 12 hours straight doing something I hate and feel so empty because I feel my work isn't fulfilling me. As a sniper I would find great passion and satisfaction because it's where my talents gifts and passions lie. I hardly ever take pictures of my gear. I have made a (very shitty) ghillie suit before a while back but I don't focus on certain skills as much because I figure in sniper school I will be trained properly (my goal is to train relevant skills but not develop bad habits).
Read above^^^^ to clarify any misconception I am not butt hurt. Criticism is good. It allows for you to reflect and catch yourself because sometimes we become oblivious to our faults and mistakes. What is the hardest part of sniper school? What should I focus on? Anyone who has been there done that recommend anything? Thanks I appreciate it.
