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

I fast sometimes to simulate being hungry in combat. I eat eggs (4) whole cooked obv. I eat tons of fruits and veggies. Salmon on occasion, chicken, lean beef, pork, lots of veggies. Yogurt, probiotics lots of milk. Carbs when I'm running or weightlifting. No alcohol. I get 8 hours of sleep unless I'm training at night. I've been eating like this since I was 17. 22 now. I drink water constantly to help my metabolism and performance. Idk the calories I listen to my body and I eat whatever it feels like telling me. My calves are freaking insane I'll post a picture in a bit
Betcha he puts pineapple on pizza.
 
I’m gonna allow it… on probation.
But we are watching you… all of us. Closely.

Don’t fuck this up! So far… you are doing adequately.

Sirhr

PS my cats are rooting for you. But they have been wrong before.

Terms are acceptable, I appreciate the vote of confidence.

Never been on probation, but once found myself playing “pro-bottom” in a pick-up basketball game. By the time I figured out that wasn’t a basketball position and we weren’t really playing basketball — it was too late.

Stuck between a center and a point guard huh?
 


Hey man, good luck in your endeavors. Before you head down to your nearest recruiter's office, I recommend giving a REAL good listen to the audiobook of Starship Troopers, by Robert A. Heinlein. It will put you in the mindset of the new life you will be entering. It is not cakewalk. It will be tough and challenging, and you will be disassembled and remade into a new person, complete with the skills that you already have and more, and most importantly, be a TEAM PLAYER. Maybe 6 years from now, you will revisit this old thread, bump it back up to the mainpage, and have a great old time looking back and laughing along.

If you got the heart and right mind for it, GOOD LUCK once again. We may be ribbing the heck out of you here but we will also be rooting for you to succeed.

ETA: A shoutout to all of our servicemembers, past, present, and future:

Good reccomendation, then read gates of fire. It will take weeks for your erection to go away, and you won't even think of calling a doctor.

And then, when he thinks all is lost and that God hates him, read or listen to Heinlein's "Job: A Comedy of Justice."

God doesn't hate Man, He just has a running bet with Lucifer.
 
Do you have any cold weather training ?
Yeah. I used to spray myself with cold water at 6am and run. Only thing that might break me is drown proofing. Im a strong swimmer tho. Swimming a piece of cake thanks to a super kind black US Army Iraq war combat veteran trained me to swim. (REST IN PEACE MR. ERICK FUCKING STILL GOT YOUR DOG TAGS). GOD BLESS.

I'm talking about extended periods of time in a cold environment.
 
I'm 1,000% sure it's a .308..

No, 2,000% sure. For shooting a 4" kill zone at 800m with irons, it's the only reasonable option.
No way. That is childs play with an iron sighted .308 for anybody 1000% ready for SOF-D and naturally gifted in all the modalities necessary for an assassin. I was thinking .223 at most. Possibly with a patched bullet to prevent tracing the projectile.

Wait, did you just say that a black guy taught you to swim?

This shit has gone too far.

My bullshit meter just exploded and injured my wife who was the width of a king sized bed away from me. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on some of this bullshit, but c'mon man, you went too far.
 
I drink and have a TS/SCI as do a number of others on here

We aren't alcoholics because we don't go to the meetings.
Yeah, I didn't really want to start this arguement with a crowd of people who never had a security clearance, but they wouldn't have any idea if you are an alcoholic, unless maybe you had several dui's. Even at TS+, they aren't asking you any real questions about alcohol consumption. I got my TS without ever even knowing the investigation had happened..

Wow, I've been killing coyotes since 1991, and I spend quite a few days every year, usually all year long hunting them, but I couldn't sneak up on one if it had a million dollar collar wrapped around it's neck. I'm not a coyote's worst nightmare though, in fact, they make me feel like a fucking idiot all the time, even after all these years. I think maybe you are cut out for Delta.
Depends on "sneak up" definition and how close we talking. Other animals like deer I'm clinically mentally handicapped when trying to figure em out. Cause deer aren't predators and I think how the coyote thinks. 90% of coyote hunting is being in the right place ESPECIALLY at the right time, other 10% is luck. Many times when I tried to hunt Coyo's specifically I would get skunked 999/1000 times. but then again they always will be the grey ghosts. I'm not saying I'm on their ass and can sniff em out like Diddy hunting for Walgreens baby oil. Yeah they fucking make me feel so stupid. SOB coyotes and jackals are like Fighting, everyone confident until they get punched in the mouth and get humbled. I just have a knack for those little shit heads. Idk maybe I just think on their wavelength. I've met trappers who can figure out certain animals but not others. You never really figure it out, it's endless trial and error.

I misjudged you. A man that thinks like a coyote is a dangerous man.

But don't coyotes hunt deer?

Why don't you hunt deer while thinking like a coyote? Run up and get a mouthful of hamstring. But honestly, with the ability to hit them at 800m with irons, you probably don't need to figure them out too well, you just need to see them.

Nobody gives a fuck about your coyote stories

One way to ensure your acceptance is post pictures of your mom and or 18+ sister.
 
A lot of our skills get shaped in childhood and my neighbors would say "hear the coyotes howling in the distance in the woods, it's time to get inside", but I was so incredibly fascinated and impressed by the very cool sounding howling I just had to see one of those fuckers. Once you tell a boy not to do something he's gonna do it. It became a mission and like an unhealthy autistic level obsession. also the region I grew up when I got older had; I swear to Jesus, on my life, more coyotes than anywhere I've ever seen when I look back on it and have more life experience. So it's a numbers game in terms of my success in learning their behaviour not so much as far as skill goes. But nah I put so much effort into seeing one of those amazing howling forrest dog like creatures that it became an unhealthy obsession. Man to this day those howls of relatively HUGE packs of coyotes were some of the most exhilarating and awesome things ever, better than whacking it. Looking back as an adult I realized, in that area nobody hunted them don't ask me why. Oh yeah it's cause it was near houses and shit and discharging a firearm near a dwelling yadda yadda yadda.You could hear them in packs just howling and howling and howling. Still my favorite sound ever.
