Any infantry unit would be your choice if you’re looking at becoming a sniper later down the line in your career

That would be the infantry or a cavalry regiment as they deal more with the combat side of things, however its not guaranteed as you will need to become part of a normal infantry or cavalry unit then tell them you want to be a sniper and they will put you on the courses
