This
book
lays

details
of

and
traits

that

and

Author
Gregory
Mast
offers
a
clear
and
closely
illustrated
account
of
what
its
like
to
be
a
sniper,
required
to
stay
in
one
position
for
days
at
a
time,
calling
upon
extensive
training
in
camouflage
and
concealment,
stalking
and
observation,
precision
marksmanship
in
a
variety
of
operational
conditions,
and
all
those
skills
that,
along
with
aptitude,
turn
a
trainee
into
the
deadliest
of
marksman.
From
the
Back
Cover:
Military
snipers
are
made,
not
born,
and
To
Be
a
Military
Sniper
takes
you
through
all
the
required
drills
with
informative
text
and
highly
compelling
photos.
Initial
training
in
the
complex
art
of
sniping
takes
five
hundred
hours
over
five
weeks.
This
physically
and
mentally
demanding
schedule
tests
soldiers’
judgment
and
maturity
in
adverse
conditions.
As
military
snipers,
they
will
have
to
make
life
or
death
choices
while
operating
under
the
stress
of
exhaustion,
hunger,
isolation,
and
physical
discomfort.
All
the
field-craft
skills
they
must
master
are
covered:
stalking,
target
detection,
range
estimation,
recon
and
surveillance,
survival,
and
many
others
vital
for
success
and
survival.
Also
covered
are
the
marksmanship
skills,
such
as
evaluating
distances,
moving
targets,
elevation,
and
windage.
But
it
takes
more
than
accuracy;
it
takes
teamwork.
They
will
learn
how
to
work
in
teams
of
shooters
and
spotters,
the
spotter
being
the
most
senior
and
experienced
member
of
any
sniper
team.
If
students
make
it
through
the
training,
then
they
are
ready
for
the
real
education,
that
which
takes
place
in
combat.
They
won’t
know
if
they
are
really
snipers
until
the
first
target
presents
itself
under
the
rules
of
engagement
and
they
are
required
to
send
a
bullet
downrange.
After
all,
the
essence
of
the
military
sniper’s
mission
is
to
precisely
kill
the
enemy,
one
target
at
a
time.
To
Be
a
Military
Sniper
covers
how
the
military
screens
for
and
then
trains
those
soldiers
capable
of
shouldering
the
physical
and
psychological
burdens
of
this
truly
unique
form
of
warfare.
