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

I'll mushroom stamp the item of your choice and mail it back to you. It's the least I can do.
OK, now I am almost positive we are being trolled, possibly
That’s just bad shooting.
Been sober over a month. I smoke weed once a week and I never drink.
Brother. Here is your first book.
Start here.
I’ll be back with more words of wisdom
I'm not sure which movie was worse. This one or that dumpster fire that Billy Zane was in. I dunno, maybe they're the same movie. Ahhh, that's Billy Zane on the left, isn't it ? So, same movie, only twice as bad as I thought.
Sounds like you drank 5 weeks ago......
Never the less, if you did quit drinking, stick with it.
All it takes is somebody nominating and seconding. So far it only really counts as an active going bat signal unless others think it is worthy yet.
I've had 3 beers in my entire life. That's all the alch I have had. I saw ppl get violent when drinking so it never appealed to meSounds like you drank 5 weeks ago......

OK, you claimed to have been sober. Sober from what then ?
You do realize you're talking in a lot of circles, right ? You're not doing yourself any favors, which partially explains why you're catching so much Flak.
Sorry.. you are not the kind of person we look for in selection of either sf or sotic/ sniper. Selection is more than physical and we look for a specific type of personality and capabilities.
The Gold Standard (for as long as I've been around anyways) is "Papa Rocks". This doesn't even come close.....
I started smoking weed at age 21 or so and smoked about only a half a gram a week. In my entire life I have had 3 alcoholic beverages. As today stands I have been sober from everything except nicotine and coffee for a month or so.
You are not sober and weed disqualifies you of service. You can not smoke weed, especially in SF.
Remember 'Sam Dunham'? That one started off slow, I was working overnight at the time, saw it in the morning, went to sleep, then in the afternoon checked back on it and WHOAAH...
Stop being a bitch. Enlist in the Marines as an 03.
Take a scout sniper endoc. Talk is cheap.

I don't. Could'a been before my time (February 2017).
From what I've heard, there were some epic ones back then. Far and away more epic than Papa rocks. But, that was/is my frame of reference. That thread really broke wide open on a Saturday morning.
I had a whole day's work planned and that thread fucked that all up. Best Saturday that I ever wasted away......
This is the first time I have reached out on any Internet resource. I never really used the Internet like this. Didn't grow up with it. I just wanted to find a supportive community of fellow marksmen I don't have resources or connections. Scout snipers have been dismantled. Look it up
California sober isn’t a real thing you twit
I was around ar15.com and hk back in the day. Never been a member of gl9cktalk..
Just every once and a while a thread reminds me of those days..
You know how you eat a shit sandwich?
One bite at a time.
So either keep telling your tale of woe or go see the recruiter tomorrow morning and get the hell on with it. Your "life's calling" starts with growing a pair of nuts and joining the military. Can you do step fucking #1?
Bonus points if you duct tape a set of trauma plates to your chest or if you have special shoes that allow you to climb walls. You will exceed the arfcom legends of old.
If you can’t handle the Pit. You aren’t going to make it in the military. Go find a mall and be a Blart.
We had some tards back in the day, a member even posted a picture of his DL on accident for a whole day. I wish I could remember who it was he deleted his account, but I just know he’s still here.
Seemed like a decent guy
Sam was 2019, but that thread was tiny compared to PapaRocks. The latter was a tornadic supercell at maxed out condition dropping a mile wide F5 wedge. Nothing came close even remotely, that is why the numerous other ones get easily overshadowed...
The best threads don’t exist anymore
Theis
So many people threw out weird hints and I figured out who he was and found multiple fake addresses and businesses before everything went public. He was convincing, but sloppy. He lucked out no one pooled info and did a deep dive sooner. Found where he scammed people before online.

You know why you need to smoke weed? 'Cause you're a loser.

Zero sympathy for anybody with a dependency.
This right here X100... The first step is getting through that door and showing that you are made of the stuff to succeed. You will get mentorship once you go through the steps and reach important milestones. The military is a multifaceted discipline and one will be required to fire on ALL cylinders and then some. It is not about how well you can shoot or do Rambo stuff. There are people who can turn a quarter into a washer at 500 yards AND win top medals on American Ninja Warrior, but if they cannot engage in teamwork, assess and respond to critical situations appropriately, or communicate effectively with teammates, they will not make it in the military.
Today's soldier is almost 70% tech wiz as well. Even the MOST base level infantryman will be required to know how to operate and maintain multiple pieces of hi tech equipment and multimillion dollar computers/surveillance/guidance instruments. Especially now that drones and drone countermeasure systems have become an integral part of the modern battlefield. Once on campaign, a mistake as simple as reading a weather comms wrong can end up getting your entire squad stranded or killed, and other components of the operation diverted in order to deploy resources to rescue YOU, which in turn can open up weaknesses for the enemy to launch an ambush elsewhere...
You will find all kinds of support if you look in the right thread. Could even find it in the pit, but not the way you started and have continued. No way you can convince us that you joined yesterday and came straight to the bear pit looking for support. I joined and this was NOT the first place I came. I started in the prs, vintage sniper rifle etc and kind of felt my way around. I’m sure there are some that started right here, but they are mentally tougher than you or I. I’d say go out tomorrow morning and find a recruiters office. Any branch will do, just find one and tell them to send you to basic. You ain’t starting at SF and every guy in here knows that except you. Guys better than you tried and ALL start at the bottom and work up, and if you truly have all the skills you claimed in your first post then you might make it past the 6 year mark.
See, David. What you’ve done is start out as a blowhard talking about all your skills and effectively insulted every former and current vet in the hide by acting like you “want a little advice before you join SF.” Well, every single dude in here that has or is serving started at square one when they joined. I dare say that not one of them went online and asked for advice.
You need to look up a guy named Tim Kennedy. Solid dude who did a stint in Delta. You wouldn't know it to listen to him, though, as he's very humble.
The giant fast growing Flips thread that got deleted exceeded Papa Rocks. It was at least 30 pages in less than 3 days.
Good point. Although, for some reason, I remember the Papa Rocks dust up a little more fondly. But, they were both good.
The thing is we can go back and reread that one. It would be better if we at least had the first post of that thread. The thread drift was documented quite well.
Yeah, for me, I had a little bit of sympathy for Philippe. Not much though. He was messed up. The vast majority of it was of his own doing, but not all of it. Papa Rocks on the other hand......
If you've had the jab it could explode (aortic aneurysm).
