rhino 0 #1 March 23, 2005 Been talking to the Prior Service Recruiter the last couple of days... Looks like I might have gotten a Scout Sniper Billet here in Michigan with retained rank of SGT.. They ship to Iraq in January. We are working on it now... Anyone think I am nuts? Rhino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feeblemind 1 #4 March 23, 2005 Well yes and no, yes, you're nuts to go to an area where alot of folks there would like nothing more than to put a bullet in your ass. No, I am proud to have folks like yourself protecting my freedom to write posts such as this. If you go stay safe!!

Rebecca 0 #5 March 23, 2005 I think it sounds cool. Super sneaky, cool weapons, taking out targets that never knew they were being watched - yeah, that'll work. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

CanuckInUSA 0 #7 March 23, 2005 QuoteAnyone think I am nuts? No more nuts than someone like myself BASE jumping off of a cliff. My jump could kill me just as you serving your country in Iraq could kill you. If you want this, do it.

rhino 0 #8 March 23, 2005 DAMN!!! Small snag... School dates are April 2nd to June 15th.. Cutting into my parenting time with Daniel.. I might be able to move the parenting time a bit.... Also have July 16th shipping to school for 9 weeks killing the whole summer... What to do what to do... They have MP school that starts April 4th-June 2nd.. I won't miss any parenting time on that one.. Then their is an Active Reserve Supply Warehouse billet that would have me on active duty for 3 years 30 miles south of my home in Port Huron.. That school starts April 7th-April 26th.. Won't miss any summer time plus I would get out of the piss ass civilian sector for good... I need help here guys.......... I want an AR position.. Supply sucks but it pays the bills... Can't move to another billet for 3 years... Sniper School ships in 10 days... MP school ships in 12 days...

SkydivingNurse 0 #12 March 23, 2005 Snipers are incredible. The training they have to go through... so much more than just being able to shoot straight. I can hit targets all day long, but I don't know how many seconds I would last having to crawl around like that and get bit by bugs and pee on myself.
