mark whalbergs film is great, ive seen it so many times and as a young teen with an air rifle my ambition in life at that time was to become an army sniper, always wanted to be and if i didnt get offerd the job i have now i was that weekend to go and join the army

 

i love the life i have and wouldnt change it, but always wondered what life would have been like if i joined the army like i was going to

 

i must stress though, it was easier to choose the job i have now over being in the army as i didnt have the balls at the time to join and kept putting it off, big thumbs up to the men and women that risk or have risked their lives in the forces

 

any of you have any real regrets like mine??

 

but as said, im loving my life

buying a zed, Marrage kids :lol::lol::lol:

 

No regrets i dont think, Shooter is a great film :2guns:

Yeah I do like that film, and watched it with the mrs last night. It's one of the few on my shortlist that don't make me cringe.

 

Regarding our own courses, the Royal Marine Commando Sniper course makes the Army Sniper course seem like a walk in the park. It's the same with regards to the USMC Recon Scout Sniper Course when compared to the several US Army Sniper courses, in fact it's pretty common for instructors from the UK RMC Sniper course to attend the USMC Scout Sniper course as guests and vice versa. The Lympstone course is also the course of choice for the majority of international exchange badged snipers and instructors from across the globe, including most SF units.

 

You missed out on a treat there mate, but no dramas as you could probably still enlist into the TA/RMR and still get some courses under your belt if that's what you wanted to do

Watched this last night great film but a bit far fetched but arnt they all 9 out of ten from me:thumbup1:
