And the spotter adjusting the dope for the shooter, also you can see their dope sheet by the kestrel.You can see the Kestrel calculator at 0.30 onwards , confirms my point about not being able to take accurate very long shots without using science, Kestrel.
Like in any army:
1. Being good to go
2. Some luck
In my day is was a Speciality what we yanks call an M.O.S. Tireur d'éliteWhat are the steps to end up doing a sniper job in the Legion? Are they exclusive to the REP? Do the GCP have their own snipers or do they ‘import’ from the regiments?
First of all...go there,do your best,pass all the tests,and hope that the commision will select you..What are the steps to end up doing a sniper job in the Legion? Are they exclusive to the REP? Do the GCP have their own snipers or do they ‘import’ from the regiments?

[/. Good stuff Joseph. Send ossie my best.
Ah! It’s good to be an old fart!Everyone has an aim when joining the Armed Forces. Mine was to become a Commando. To do so I had to undertake a very rigorous training regime. This was followed by the very arduous commando course itself.
Then and then only could I specialise. The same applies to the FFL.
Chas former SF Club member...…..now an old fart with my old fart's T. Shirt.
Canadian snipers are excellent. They hold 3 of the top five places for distance kills. The longest confirmed kill, taking in the curvature of the earths surface was 2.475 metres or 1.5 miles.
For actual kills in Afghanistan a current serving RM sniper had 173 confirmed kills. One at extreme distance, but as yet I can't confirm how far. His kills involved all skills required for this specialisation. Stalking and withdrawals from exposed positions formed a major factor in his successes. He is well renowned for his field craft.
This individual RM success is rather more than the greatly acclaimed USN Seal Chris Kyle, who had a film made about him.
Our Royal Marine shuns all publicity and long may that remain the case.

I`d imagine a snipers job is more difficult than ever these days , relatively cheap hand help thermal imagers can see man at up to a mile .
