These guys are holding out on you.
There is a way and there is a mentor.
You are looking for the easy way though. You don't just climb the mountain and upon meeting the oracle at the top he blurts out the secrets of life.....
There is always a test and a riddle.
You need to go to the American southwest, where xactly, no one knows.
Seek out "The German"
Tell him the code word "I want the weenerschnitzel".
You will be on your way to total OAF.

You live The Claw Lyfe long enough, you either die a Red Bull or live long enough to see yourself become The Claw…
"Grew up in an orphanage...mom does not know about my adventures, she would kill me if she found out."
Grew up in an orphanage but mom would kill you??
That’s not how it works!!! That’s not how any of this works!!!

When I first met DarnYankee, he told me that when I can snatch the pebble from his hand, it will be time for me to leave….
Dammit, still here.
And I keep putting holes in the rice paper.

OP, don't let these guys talk shit about you. Fight back, let the rage fuel your keystrokes. Hone your sniper skills here in this thread. Let your words be your bullets and the keyboard your weapon of precision. Your VPN is your Gillie suit.
This is the battlefield of your future.

How it goes when you ask for a mentor so you can be a SAS sniper assassin in the bear pit…
Probably doesn’t even know what color the boathouse is…

WTF you we are never supposed to reference the Phoenix Eye outside the UGPX!
Oh shit… now I am in trouble!!

I Think we have all missed the boat with this here fellow.
We need to commend this fellow, give him an Attaboy and all quiet down and absorb his wisdom.
It’s people like the OP that make this place fun.
I think I’ve put on five pounds eating all that popcorn.

I am not a sniper, but I know one. You will be ready for sniper school when you can shoot at a half MOA target at a mile...but catch your bullet with your bare hands at 3/4 of a mile after you have shot it. If you can't run fast enough to do it, you need to train harder.
How to do you know when your mother doesn't want you?
When she goes back to the orphanage and tries to kill you.

Holy wall-of-text.
If you shoot for the sun (squint so you don't hurt your eyes) and hit the moon you are going to suck at sniper school.
Ditch the weed and try some of this. It'll cheer you up!
Op, go talk to a recruiter. If you want SF/Delta/sniper, then talk to an Army recruiter.
Ask for the 18X pipeline. Then check out these channels on YouTube:

Or….head to Louisiana and ask for the one they call “Theis”. Word will reach him. If he deems you worthy, he will contact you and your training will begin shortly thereafter. Godspeed

There's a Zero Turn Mower with a "For Sale" sign on it right next door. It's obviously broken because the grass has just about over grown it.
David here again. Hope y'all are well. I appreciate the criticism as much as the support. I am still going to pursue my goals and dreams regardless. My best friend who died on a motorcycle also wanted to become special forces operator. I never give in because after he died I was determined to accomplish our goal for the both of us. A large portion of me died that day and the only way to heal would be to pass sniper school and achieve something greater than myself in my life. He died he isn't capable of anything anymore. But I am still breathing and I know that I'm capable of completing the mission regardless of any adverse circumstances and that come my way. Talking to recruiters. Peace y'all. Might not come back on here but rest assured I won't be stopped, if I fail I have nothing to go back to.
... Damn.
I was dealing with dipshits all night and missed this.
Has anyone seen OP's kit yet? Does he have a special wallet of special rounds with special loads for special ops?

I have very basic gear. I just try to practice my skills more than I focus on gear.
There is no glory in war. No I am not interested in going to fight over seas in uke. I say that I use mj yet how many of you drink? Do alcoholics get security clearances? Should I start drinking? No ofc not.
OP I am genuinely curious, what kind of rifle do you shoot, what caliber, what kind of scope do you have on it, and what is the longest range you have ever shot out to?
In point of fact, almost everyone with a security clearance I've ever met, to a man, would meet the civilian definition of an alcoholic.
And how many of us are in the process of "signing up to be a Sniper" ?
The answer is; Other than you, Zero. It's a totally irrelevant statement/question.
You dint get it.. you can not smoke pot and be in the service. You sure as hell can't do it in socom..You know we get drug tested a lot right?
You also say you can not heal unless you pass sf and sniper school.. we go through psychological evaluation in selection and again you would not pass that simple part of it..
There is a very specific type we look for and weed everyone else out.. hell even if you think you are doing well and make it to the end of selection, we drop about half the remaining for one reason or another if we don't feel they are right for our teams.
Yes drinking can cause denial of security clearance or loss of a security clearance. People dependent on any substance is not accepted.
Heyyyyy something I'm kinda passionate about!!!! (I'm a Future gear junkie but I'm poor and I stick to the basics and my comfortability) So my only tool is an all black Rem 700 win!!!!!!! Fucking love the simplicity, simplicity is the greatest sophistication. No scope. Don't laugh at me guys. I never used a scope. You guys are not going to believe my best shot I ever took on that rifle so I'm not even going to post the distance or circumstances; regardless, I squared behind my rifle, took the shot, took a huge breath in...... connected with the target and I was so excited I STILL think about that shot to this day. My average shot is in the 200-300 meter range. I just love that weapons system so much and I have used it as my only tool. I am so comfortable with it. It's like an extension of my body. I've heard of Mildots and scopes and what not but I never used one so I wanted a mentor who could teach me about scopes.
Not to split hairs, but are they really non-selecting half now?
In my class, we started with about 425, finished about 190, and they selected about 175. Has it changed so much?
C'mon man, tell us about the best shot you ever took with the rifle. We have to know. No scope or sights?
Depends on the class. Some are more and some are less. Saying half is a good average..
When did you go through selection? How many failed out of your q course?
I went November 2009. In a literal hurricane. We had the worst weather anyone could remember. It poured rain the entire land nav week. As far as Q course failures.... good lord, who knows. Way more than I would have imagined. Maybe half. All sorts of reasons, for things I wouldn't have ever even imagined. I saw people quit before we ever got to CLT, they dropped people like flies in CLT, people failed language, DUI's, PT tests, injuries. That's a long time to go without making a mistake for young guys. It may have ultimately been more than half. I never saw anyone calculate those numbers. I went to the class after discovery made the "Two weeks in hell" documentary. They say at the end of that show that the very next class would be 3 weeks, and I was in the first 3 week selection..
Land nav sucked as is with perfect weather. I couldn't imagine doing it during a hurricane. Language school is a bitch too. Over the years they changed when yiu do language school because too many people were making it to the end and failing language.
All I'm going to say is that yes I use iron but no scope. Let's just say the distance rhymed with date hundred meters. Yeah. Fucking yeah. I know. Fucking shit my pants. Circumstances now that I think about it wasn't that important or special. I just was in a state of flow and was able to perform at my best.
Bro, I'm impressed.
What was the target? How did you know the range? 800m with irons? Damn
OP, I hope you are reading these posts. You say you want to be an operator but youre defending smoking pot. Quit that shit now. Besides being illegal, its certainly not going to help you obtain your goals.
You say you have talked to recuriters. What branch or branches? Why haven't you signed up yet?
What is the most difficult thing you have completed in life? Physically or mentally? Marathons or ultra marathons? Hiking sections of the Appalachian Trail?
You mentioned stalking coyotes. How do you go about that?
Your posts are lacking any real details to show if you're serious or not. How about the details on your Rem 700 without a scope? Your hold over? Wind read? Any pictures to back the claim?
Its these details that will explain to the mass here if you're trying to be legit.

We obviously didn't get a direct hit from the hurricane at Mackall, but we got the most unbelievable torrential rains for a week straight, and temps were just above freezing. Might have hit 45° mid day a few times. I mean, never a moment that it wasn't dumping, 24 hours a day. People were losing their entire rucks crossing creeks. The little crossings were its normally knee deep were 8' deep. Nothing anyone could do to keep their gear dry. Our packs weighed a ton. Wet boots every single step for a week. The literal second we finished the star, they gave us a debriefing, and the rain stopped, the clouds parted and the sun came out. It warmed up to 60° and was the most beautiful day you've ever seen. We were all 100% convinced they had a weather manipulation machine. Then it was bitter cold during team week.

Damn, you had to bring up drug testing. After returning from Vietnam, I was sent to Ft. Carson. Nice enough fort, had a ski hill close by that had night skiing and if you wore a ski hat the girls could not tell you were army.
One morning, right after chow, i got my morning usual out of the way. Had a nice long piss. No sooner than I got back to my station, guess what, fall out for drug test. Damned hardest time I ever had trying to get just a bit of liquid out.
OP, you’re gonna be on the bus right back to that orphanage as soon as your first blood draw and urinalysis at your pre-enlistment physical. U S Army, “we dont need no fucking druggies.”
I measured like 10 times after the shot. Didnt believe the distance after measuring It the first 3 times. It was a coyote. I tracked that female for quite a ways. I'm a Coyo's worst nightmare from hell. I got tracking and stalking coyotes down to a science. 12+ years of knowledge and experience.
I love the detail about the ski hat.
This is what always blew my mind about stolen valor. When I was in, I'd sit in the barber's chair and they would ask me what haircut I wanted. I would always say: "I want to make reg, but not look like I'm in the Army". If you're actually in, the last thing you want to do is look like it. Once you're out, the last thing you want to do, "unless you cooked chow or folded sheets or some other neccessary but also gay shit" is wear BRCC shirts, cover your rear windows in vet bro stickers, and go to the veteran's day bullshit. The dudes with their dd214 on the back of their vehicle?? Well, you know.
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.
