- Marine Sniper Training - The First 2 Weeks of USMC Scout Sniper Training.
United States Marine Corps Scout Sniper (MOS 0317, formerly 8541) is a secondary MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) designator of U.S. Marine Corps infantrymen and reconnaissance Marines that have graduated from a U.S. Marine Corps Scout Sniper School. Scout Snipers must earn the rank of Lance Corporal, be selected by their battalion to join the scout-sniper platoon, and complete an approved scout-sniper course in order to receive this designation.

The Corps has come a long way in sniping training and tactics since my dad’s time in the Korean War. He said the platoon commander just selected him, as he was the best shot in the platoon, handed him a Springfield 1903 (the other guys in the platoon had the M-1 Garand)and told him to get to work marking targets with tracer rounds and killing any North Korean or Chinese soldiers he came across. There was no specific sniper training course back then (1952-53)
Come a long way agreed sir
Modern USMC sniper doctrine and training was developed by almost singlehandedly by Carlos Hathcock after the Vietnam war. Look him up, he's a legend.
Sir help me iwant to achieve my dream iwant to be marine corps
@@jennyjune5757 Are you an American?
my grandpa was always the best shot minus the armorer with an m1 carbine and Garand and they wanted him to be a sniper, but it required some more shooting and a bit more PT he said would take him away from the fam just that much more so he declined. Later he said he wished he had done it
This is happening somewhere around the world whilst I'm sitting watching videos like this eating my chips
Same, I feel bad and weak 😖
meh im in the same position i was gonna join then i was like nahh i dont have the patients for this shit, also sleeping in a cramped room with 6 other dudes is not my thing either XD
Angry_Old_ _Man_Gamer Most barracks rooms are 2-3 to a room, but I still get your point. If you don't like dealing with bullshit, do not join, my best advice
What’s 3 years of your life compared to what you get in return? I encourage you to dare yourself. All you have to do is show up and not quit. They will take care of the rest. It will be the best times of your life. I guarantee it. Ask your self, do you wanna be a man that took care of his country or do you wanna be a man who his country took care of him? 🍺 cheers.
Or you just want to be a man who take care of himself. Every person has own reasons to go to army.
I did this in the U.S. Army and I worked with Marine S.S. in the field. They are excellent Warriors and I would go to work with them anywhere. I’m old and fucked up now but I still remember those good times and I still shoot daily.🤟
Snipers are trained to be assassins in the military. They are taught how to fight and kill an enemy from various long-ranged distances by using various tactics such as environmental camouflage.
Poser
my son was a USMC Scout Sniper for ever it seems like through OIF03
I'm retired now but how I miss the days when I was hitting targets 1500yards out.
Gonna try to become one, seeing this made me have second thoughts
Dark Angel If you can past the mental challenges, you can easily pass the physical challenges. Condition yourself before hand to make it easier
@@maximus9300 Mental challenges?
@@Unknown01252 Yes

Thank you for everything. I see the effort, time, energy, dedication, devotion, pride, passion, and love for the United States of America demonstrated by each one of you who wear the uniform. Thank you.
They are not in. ,there instruster need more training.they look like kindergarten kid’s
Thank them for what? Not all vets are heros especially when it comes to the fact that Americans have been fighting a war for foreign bankers and not the people. The US that the world knows is that of a whore, and those that represent the American people are not ours.
@NG+ mad boi
@@MrStone125 lol good for you
this shit motivates me to get into shape
no shit right??
me to and i am going in the marines not for a sniper
same :3 I wanna work on my cardio cuz I loooooove running
Aa
it you're interested be prepared to run miles with a pack on
my dad was in the USMC he told me that the drill instructors said "if it ain't raining we ain't training"
So they only trained in the rain?
ZeroCold Gg that’s a bit over dramatic don’t you think?
@@kresant1507 trying to be the wise guy lol.
The rain hides your tears well too😂
Army soldier here. We said ," it doesn't rain in the Army, it rains ON the Army. Much respect to all of the Warriors out there laying their life on the line for us. God bless you all!!! HOOAH.

I love how the Leaders are keeping the discipline but also giving pointers to help them out .
dude on the left at 2:57 knew what he was doing, had a good rhythm going using his legs and hips to drive it up, makes it a lot easier
Zachary Maneja if its not against the rules, its not cheating
Zachary Maneja I see what you're saying. You do 100+ ammo can lifts legs or not, you're going to feel it. This is just one part of their strength testing, you might as well make it a little easier on yourself and crank out a few more as opposed to using strictly your arms. Besides, in a combat scenario you're not going to use just your arms because its a better arm workout lmao, or at least, i hope you wouldn't
Nathen Colberg it's mostly shoulders actually, and some tricep.
Agreed +Nathen Colberg. Former 8541 over here. Indocs are primarily mental over physical.
+Zachary Maneja - No it's not cheating yourself as much as it's elongating your success. Like Seal Training, the goal is to get through the Indoc -- as some Marines will tell you "slow is fast and fast is slow."
Whereas, to answer your question theoretically speaking? Yes! You "can go hard." However, you'll be more prone to injury (down the road) versus completing your training. And I am telling you from first hand experience -- as my body dropped out due to a stress fracture from overexerting himself. Grant it he had a huge heart and was highly motivated! However, he forgot patinece is the reason why we're in the Indoc. To be a sniper in the Marine Corps, is about patience.
P.S. Think of it like this. If I tell you to find a spot, and lay dormant for several days -- at a time -- before pulling the trigger to engage your target, would you do that? Or, would you simply rush everything and potentially compromise the mission (including your life)?
12:28
"We need some suppressors for our sniper rifle"
"How long do you want it?"
"Yes!"
The longer it is the quieter the shot
you should look up the MAW-A1 that they used in Vietnam, talk about length...
When I was a freshman in high school my football coach asked our local recruiters to come out and get us in shape. It was a long rough day. We showed up at 6:30 in the morning with a 1 mile warm up then proceeded to press ammo cans they brought out then a course where you a have a buddy finally we finished up with three 300 dashes timed under 55 seconds if you failed to meet time then it was bleachers.
Problem with that is none of it makes you a better football player. Ever see Aaron Donald or JJ Watt doing mile runs or ammo can presses? Me neither.
I kinda feel bad for US Marines, they're well trained and a good fighting force yet they're the Corps of Hand-me-downs. You'd think that a branch that has so many responsibilities and a very important mission would get better shit, but nope.
Run Spawns Didn't say the ARE hand me downs, that the get hand me downs. Half of their shit is what the Army gave up. They use outdated and retired British Harriers they brought on the cheap, they have the lowest budget out of all the US military branches, they have the worst accommodation. They literally have fuck all, yet, they're relied on to do everything. First ones to go into battle, don't have the best equipment.
+Run Spawns no
That's how it's always been, It all goes back to the marine corps budget being apart of the navy's meaning the navy decides what the marines budget is the marines can request for an increase but often falls on deaf ears. Thus the marine corps is also the most cost efficient yet there are still big cuts to there buget. That was also a big reason for MARSOC being formed since they get funding from USSOCOM. But all together the marines work with what they got and still perform extremely well.
+Ryan Jennings it's true
+Ryan Jennings First ones to go into battle? Rofl.
Every Marine is a marksman, any one of them can hit a target with an M16 up to 500 yards, and then there's the scouts who are even better shooters. Probably the best snipers you'll ever meet, only about 300 of them out of 200,000 Marines but quality vs quantity.
No...every marine is a RIFLEMAN, not necessarily a marksman! Who cares if a supply clerk or personnel clerk is a marksman!! They're never see combat, unless it's WW3!! IF that happens, EVERY member of the military will pick up an M-16!
I get shipped off to marine boot camp May 12. I scored relatively well on the ASVAP and want to go into cyber security since it’s a really good job, however it’s always been my dream to become a sniper so i’m a bit torn
Think about what is best for your future & thank you for your future service
You can do that anywhere with a gi bill. You’ll only get one chance to be a scout sniper.
That’s what I’m also trying to do. But I have to gain 5lbs and pass my physical, before I can go to boot camp.
How is it going? I want to do the same.
Asvab
Thank of the men and women for their service. There dedication to protecting the U.S. shines through this video. Bravo!👌
video starts at 5:14 .. everything before is mandatory CFT for all marines, nothing special.
Exactly what I was thinking.
What is CTF is that like PT
CFT: Combat Fitness Test.
It's 3 miles for the PFT. We don't really run it in laps, but instead run on a trail/road for half of it and then turn around for the other half. At least that's how it was in my units. Everyday PT runs could be several miles depending on how your unit operates.
i stopped watching because of the CFT. on a side note... replace the PFT with the CFT. CFT is so much more fun.
I’ve always wanted to be a sniper for the marines!!! Thank you so much for posting now I’ll be able to prepare and get used to these work outs!
Well how was it?
I wanna know too
Same
Come on bro tell us
?
That is a whole lot different, and much better, Sniper Course training than when I went through.
To live and serve as a Marine means never failing to win any battle-with a selflessness that guarantees a better future for us all.
To even consider sniper school, you have to be an outstanding marine, minimum Lcpl. avg. cutting score of 4.5 or higher, rifle expert, above WS-1 swim qual, then your platoon leaders select you, and onto the battalion endoc where you compete with other marines trying for the quota. This is the hardest school next to DI school, I believe. There is no merit badge for snipers, that can be worn on your uniform like jump wings or bubbles. You get unique lifelong scar on your calf, so the next time you see a guy walk around with SS on his calf, then honor him. People who run long distance track and field and do moderateweigh training in High School are more likely to get pass the physical part, but it is not all book smart either, you have to be an independent individual who is self discipline in all of you life. Most of you by 11th grade have figured out that you want to join the Marines, there is a lot more to the Marine Corps with all of it's occupation, train hard now, once you get to the fleet keep training and those quotas will be available then it is up to you: Jump School, RASP, Pathfinder, Sniper, Combat Diver, Recon, Force Recon, ANGLICO, FAST, etc. Earn you brass and I am not talking butter bars. GL!
cool
I would pass the physical part besides running i suck and it i mean im healthy i lift but when it comes to running i suck my best mile is 9 minutes
You get branded like a cow.
I got hurt at SOI and my mos was dropped to admin "lol" however after developing myself in my unit and getting to know the snipers in my company they are letting me Endoc into the platoon to train before sniper school. I guess I'm not as big a shit bag as I thought lol
csMarathonz you're full of shit
The beginning seems like a regular day at football practice 😂
Haha I feel that

Snipers are 76 percent of the time is to gather Intel the other 24% is to take out the target... Facts
lifting those ammo boxes suck ass

How things have changed. Back in 1968 the Marine Corps trained some of their snipers at an Engineer Bn. just north west of 1stMarDiv HQ. right outside of DaNang. I remember borrowing a mighty mite from a friend at motor T to give someone in my squad a ride to the school. I hated to lose him to snipers but he wanted to do it. Never did find out what happened to him but we didn't get a replacement for him before Tet hit. Much nicer to send fully trained and qualified Marines into a combat zone ready to go instead of that half-ass shit back then. Semper Fi my brothers. Sergeant USMC 0311.
thank you for you service i will be enlisting in 2 more years
I was in the second class in Las Pulgas, Camp Pendleton. After ITR. Expert in Remington 700 BDL. 1968 then to Vietnam.
I served (along with a few others) in fulfilling our company Scout billit. After 3 years ( 9 1/2 mo. Activated), I, and several other members of my team, contracted Trench Foot after a 13 1/2 week in field operation that was only supposed to take 96 hours. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think of our beloved Corps. Any any other Dogs out there? Over...
-Semper Fi Marines! Semper!
(1st Recon. 1st MARDIV, 93-96)
My buddy is a 0317. He is the coolest and nicest person you have ever met.
Unless he is looking at you thru an optic.
Wow. It's changed since my time. The entry test was, first you had to be at least rifle marksman, then you had a time frame to complete a 3 mile run with a 40 pound pack, a two mile ocean swim (one out, one back with a "flotation" pack) and another 2 miles run, then a land navigation in day and night. Then you could start the "fun stuff" and there was no guarantee of being a shooter.
It was the swim that changed my mind. Turned out not to matter though because I sustained an injury in boot that didn't fully manifest until infantry school that prevented me from continuing my career in the Corps. I often wish I could go back to boot and avoid the incident that caused my injury. Now my son is about to ship out to boot and that is really making me miss being in. To bad time travel isn't real.
Semper Fi 🇺🇸
just reading "2 mile ocean swim," stressed me out.. I remember swimming a mile in high school, and i did not like it.. 2 miles in the ocean.. bah.
also, hope your son's time in went well for him, and if he is still serving hope everything works out for him.
@@heavensshelf1095 he’s doing great. Thanks. He’s about to get out. They haven’t talked about disallowing it, so... 🤞🙏🤞
Finaly a chat group that has somewhat intelegent conversations
@56 Seconds Center-Left that must be where they keep Alpha/Bravo CO.; Right then it was also announced that special guy is your spotter.
A Marine true to his core, only when the camera pans to you!
Love you guys!
Driving out to Stone Bay one morning at 4 am from main side Lejeune for rifle qual I'm 25 minutes from New River 20 minutes to the gate at Stone Bay in the middle of darkness I catch movement in the tree line out of the side of my headlights. Scout sniper running with a map in his hand going to what I presume is the next navigation box during a timed evolution. I'm 20 minutes from anything at 60 mph in the dark. Scout snipers are a special breed. And by special I mean crazy. Humble dudes too every one I ran into, only way I knew they were in the course is they didn't have name tapes.
I love TH-cam. One minute I'm watching Jacques Pepin make a classic french omelette, the next I'm watching scout snipers.
5:10 is when they're done with the CFT Gents
LOCO808 good looking out
PeppaDaWoundz lol
Not all heroes wear capes
The first 5 minutes is the combat fitness test. Literally every Marine has to conduct it each year
Man I just love watching theses videos in my nice cozy bed
my dream is it to be a scout sniper i wish i can join the usmc respect from germany this guys are heros
This has been one of my dreams, Ill do anything and everything to be a Sniper
Anything?... 💀
I've been waiting since 7th grade to even get the chance to talk to a recruiter and this year when I hit 9th grade we had a management change and now we are lucky if we get an army recruiter.
Salute you guys, you're the real patriotic. Only chosen few who has excellent marksmanship to be in that position.
Thanks for all your hard work
So many exercises done in the first four minutes were exactly like what my wrestling team practices were like. Especially 3:30 we did that shit all day
the lap running took me back to track practice
same
with the wrestling conditioning
zeee kalouska then why isn't your wrestling team marine snipers?
Jessen The great nobody said what they're doing is easy or that we could be marine snipers because of exercises that we did...
Damn I was expecting to see these guys 360 no scope their targets
0:58 anyone see that guy in the background scratching his balls
Just let him, what guy doesn't do it.
@@amo_res9266 true
My best friends were hns company. Scout snipers. They had it hard. I went to Panama with SCAMP. I was rescued from death. I loved these guys.
I have to wait 3 years to be able to do this.... I am too impatient.
This looks like so much fun, sure sniping is serious business. but the fact they have the power to take in so much information for one perfect shot is just fascinating. I'd love to do this in the near future. I am gonna exercise so much now. Gotta prepare.
I could do something better with my life, but I feel like this would make me proud to accomplish.
:> I cannot wait
How’s it going ?
start training for PT/long range shooting asap when you can and getting used to judging shots based on info....itll help a ton in the future and youll be ahead of the others. Thats the biggest thing my buddy who became one said helped him and what others told him to do
Almost there
USMC Commandant just announced disbanding of USMC Fleet Marine Force Scout Snipers and the Scout Sniper MOS.
Good luck
At 1:45 the dude that starts walking away hits the other dudes ass whos walking lol
Very cool, thank you for your service. Love how quiet those snifer rifles are, big difference from my civilian AR15.
To even think that one of my cousins did all this is craaazzzyyyy, but I respect the hell out of him
Novritch would kick ass at this.
+Aa Loch lol

Lol i know i love him

In my era the Sniper School was like 'Boot' all over again, and one of the pre-req's. was being a highly squared away 'Recon Raider.' with an impeccable SRB.

when did you serve? I served 1981-2012 (Sgt Mjr) (Ret)
M e keep
Your saying in order for you to go to USMC Sniper school you had to be a RAIDER?
Jake it’s a little late but being a Scout Sniper isn’t something you can contract into right away so yes you have to go through Recon or become a Raider and it all really depends which route you choose to go but without going through those you won’t find yourself becoming a Scout Sniper until passing that. I’m currently in the DEP and I’m going in as a Combat Engineer next year July 22nd but I’m aiming to be a Scout Sniper so I looked into it a little bit. Anyone can try out for Raiders and Recon but very few make it so if you’re thinking of going I’d say think of a fallback job (mine being Combat Engineer) that you’ll still enjoy when you serve.
Thank You Men. !!! You guys are the Real Deal
My dad was a Marine Corps sniper in the Korean War. Fox 2/7. 1952-53 Back then there was no formal sniper course in the marines. They just gave an Springfield 03 to the best shot in the unit and that was my dad

I was thinking that when I saw it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hahaha good one

ur genius
The sniper corps are awesome! Most human and intelligent of all the units imo
You are lying you ass out. Chris Kyle was a sniper and he was a psycopath
This is how our daily exercise should look like.💪

pause it on exactly 0:58 😉 it's a lot more than just sniper training
People say soldiers are human too. Bt I say soldiers are something else,something incredible...
im 15 and im an excellent hunter I am super stealthy and my dad has been a really good hunter and has a high respect in the hunting community

0:58 I think one of them crapped themselves out of rage
NOW thats hard to do, once you have finished warming up your heart, then shoot, they teach you to control your heart rate to show it down as quickly as possible & even shoot while your heart rate is up as well. :)

The CFT at the beginning that’s why your buddy counts for you.
5:12 then we take a break for an hour and a half of birdwatching
High School wrestling was a bit harder than this seemingly. My coach had the fat kids passing out and didn’t care. He was a marine though apparently. I get why he pushed us so hard.
Your wrestling was not harder than Scout Sniper school. The beginning was a CFT. A fitness test, not physical conditioning training.
Am I the only one who wants to be a sniper?
SuperSlime37 Gaming nope
Mikey B lol
Ha
Mikey B not at all
Mikey B ur not alone wish i didnt live in ireland and actually lived in a place with a respectible millitary XD
Totally awesome you guys! I'm Canadian and you have my trust! you are all awesome! Thank you.

Unbelievable it's very hard work
Foxtrot Alpha is the B.A. Barracus of TH-cam channels.
The first 5 minutes was the CFT. Combat Fitness Test. Every Marine has to do this test annually in place of the PFT. Physical Fitness Test. iirc it depends on what time of year it is when tested. Cold months is CFT. Hot months is PFT.
Not sure why they are spending so much time on pt. It's a two week course and max trading for that should be the aim
Damn they gotta teach these Marines how to run properly... Shouldn't be landing on the heel ever. It wastes energy, reduces speed, and causes added stress/damage to the joints. I would think that's one of the first things they'd learn at boot camp.
Thank you for the continued service Marines.
I don't run track but very true. I run midfoot.
Sam Kolby it's hard to run properly in boots.
so how are you supposed to run then? you can't get a full stride landing on your toes
thebutteredbiscuit 1 exactly what i was thinking
Sam Kolby
Running is done in sneakers, TRAINING is done in boots. Try landing midfoot in some fuckin' Vibram soles sometime.😂😂😂
I know what a lot of the amateurs you're going to say but guess what guys it's going to get a lot harder than that
i did 3 floats with a meu,they have new modernize gear and were good shipmates.I love you guys.
I'm glad the good guys are on our side
I’m joining the USMC after high school
How did you go? Did you pass Basic Training + SOI?
Don’t join the army bro. Enjoy life while you can
Magic Trick88 USMC isn’t the army. And that just sounds like bitch talk
After seeing this: 3:56 I cannot press the sprint button in my game. God bless marines.

Amazing training!
this is known as combat fitness test. We have also done it as part of becoming an officer.
kawasaki ninja done every year. Along with the physical fitness test. Pft cft and range every year
0:53 keep your eyes on the man in the background.
its the boots that weigh you down man 😂trust me....ik
kawika wood lol who doesn't know 😂.

This video is encouraging me again to try and join after many years of trying to pass the asvab
I think, this type video inspires anybody to keep the body healthy & fit.
Even though this only a fraction of what they go through, I feel like the only thing I’ll have trouble is the running
4:50 to 4:52 just chillin
Heart breaking and life taking
This guys are awesome.
