[QUOTE="sniper85, post: 15192763, member: 137998"] My dad was in the Army Infantry during Vietnam(He was on one of the very first LRRPs Teams were the graduations was an actual mission and sometimes the teams never made it back) and he tried every way to get me to join something besides Infantry. In a point you are right.... Is it cool to say? Yes.... Listen to "...520" he's right on spot. But I will tell you what my dad told me when I told him I signed up for the Infantry. I walked in and told him and he told me to sit down. He then pulled a bottle of Crown Royal out and poured two glasses and handed me one(I was 18 at the time). He said, "Baby, I'm going to tell you something I wish someone told me when I joined. If you join the Infantry and go over seas, it will be fun and during your time in it will probably be the best time of your life. You are in great shape but that is only half the battle. I don't care how badass you think you are or how badass you think you will be. When you get home your heart will hurt for the rest of your life and there is nothing you can do to change it. You can learn to control it but till the day you die. You will carry the pain, heart ache and why's with you everywhere you go and they will be in everything you do. Keep a 360 look out and most importantly don't forget. Sometimes, all you can do is cry, it's the best relief." Just remember there is more to all this then just school and being cool. Learn how to sniper crawl for a few hrs moving only a few meters. In a ghillie suit during the hottest summer day or coldest winter day. Make a ghillie, you will need a hat, I put pads on my pants and made some halfass vents trust me they take time and they suck, not as cool as the movies make them look. And, NO...don't buy one. Make one before you go to school and if you don't stay up late and help other guys. Well....it won't turn out good. Go get a Sniper manual and you will find ALOT of helpful info. But if you think this is for you and you go to combat zone and make it home. Remember, you are not alone. [/QUOTE]
