Have you ever considered becoming a professional sniper, /jp/?

Sitting alone and taking it easy for hours on end until your target arrives and getting paid for it. You might even meet a foreign drafted loli who will become your sniping partner and take it easy with you.

Sounds like it's right up /jp/'s alley.

Yes. But those should, in the best cases, have started at a young age like 18. Fitness and such. There is probably a age restrictment too. Great eyesight and training should be completed too. Make sure you are a little rambo when you apply for sniper.

Fine; you want to be a Sniper?

Okay; here's what you do.

1. Join the military (If you're in the US, then join the USMC).
2. Perform at the high level of your training battalion with very high scores in marksmanship and endurance.
3. If you're lucky, you'll be selected to be a Designated Marksman or a member of a Scout Sniper platoon.
4. If in the USMC, enter sniper school and pass.
5. Once you've done this, survive your tour and term of service.
6. Congratulations, you are now a sniper. Enjoy your PTSD.

Actually, I'll be doing mandatory service in the royal guard this year, and I'm considering asking to join one of the troops that has snipers. Not really sure about it, though, a guy who has served in the royal guard before told me they're trained quite harshly in lying still for hours without enough sleep or food, and that it never seemed like they had any fun.

Is it really recommendable at all? Or should I just get into something simple, like logistics?

So are you saying it's a particularly fulfilling position to have? "Fulfilling" is a better word to use, as I might be willing to go through some extra boredom and pain if it's more fulfilling in the end.

No idea what office politics really involve, but since I've never had a job in my life, I figure I'm not particularly good at it already. I just heard from that same guy that truck driver is a recommendable position to ask for.

being a sniper consists of crawling slowly trough miles and miles of dirt under the sun or snow, waiting days watching absolutely nothing happening, and get your kills taken away by the flyboys.

what you are looking for, is being a hitman, and that job is even worse. no client wants witnesses, so they preffer doing it themselves or backstabbing you. and the pay is relatively low for the amount of risk you take. its all the danger of organized crimes without any of its benefits.

/k/ommando chiming in.

People romanticize "sniping". To become one, join the military (obviously), go infantry and be a damn good shot. You may be offered a slot in scout sniper school.

To put it simply, sniping is boring as fuck. It is also not like video games where you put a crosshair on a target 600 meters away and the bullet perfectly follows a straight path and nails your objective. A 7.62x51 nato round will elevate as much as 20 yards along a standard flight path, and your spotter is responsible for relaying information to help the shooter compensate for various conditions.

Sniper teams will wait for hours, sitting perfectly still, pissing in their pants if need be, etc.
