      it's a shame peoeple are more obsessed with money more than the sklls and qualifications you gain from military service. Look here. If you some how get into the special forces or in elite units like royal marines , they give you free career paths from courses you do. I'll list a few of them right now. Parachuting teacher, Diving instructor, Canoeing teacher, Bodyguard, rock climbing teacher, ski teacher, Survival instructor, Jungle warfare instructor. Those are all from direct qualifications you get, Not to mention all the careers you could do with just the skills without the on paper labels of skills. And last of all the discipline and skills you gain will make it much much much easier to make money with starting a brand new business.

      @@SodaPrezsing not true. Its mandatory for the special forces to do those courses, it's literally part of their selection and ongoing training. I'm not talking about conventional forces. I know they don't have the funding for all soldiers. Even without all those things I listed you get my point. Joining the military is a investment for a lifetime that will shape you into a glorious life. Assuming you don't leave by getting discharged from PTSD or severe injury but hey look at Jason Fox.

      You generally end up joining the military because you don’t have any other options or you want to escape your situation. That’s what I did. If I could talk to my younger self I’d tell him never to join the military and stay in school. You are just a tool. A useful idiot to be used and abused by the ruling elite. Then you get out with little to no transferable skills.

      There's a massive difference in role, capabilities and unit outputs between RM and infantry therefore the same will transition to sniper roles. Infantry snipers are very good but they don't have the same job as royal marines (outside of basic soldiering). The RM sniper course is also world renowned, the reason both sas & sbs load Thier lads on the course.

      ​​@@parky5329a few minute video shows everything they do does it ? Basic sniper stuff is the same anywhere. the fact is the RM and the infantry have different roles so Thier respective snipers will have different roles, even if the basics of sniping are the same. RM snipers do a maritime element (shooting from helicopters, at sea, at moving targets) and it's not new, hostage rescue sniping (that is new), high angle (mountain) and extreme cold weather. All are different elements to the job that requires different training to what an infantry sniper will get.

    It is a bit more than troubleshooting.

      Out of this. Take only what is needed.
      You dont need a suit, ive tried one on, it takes time to get in and out and then the terrian is never optimal for it where your shot is. There is never any actual point to it in real life combat and it is always a hinderance.
      Probably aim for 100% on easy target shots though. If the gear allows it. Should be easy.
      Get rid of the picture drawing and note taking and raise your bar to 100%
