If I want to become a sniper what regiment do I go in?

Daniel E.

Assistant Intelligence Officer

Most Infantry Regiment have a Sniper Platoon, but these soldier tend to be seasoned soldiers who have learned their trade as a soldier first and shown promise of being able to soldier without little guidance.

They also need to make themselves known to their Chain of Command that they are interested in becoming a Sniper. This course is a pass/fail course so once you have shown an interest, there in no guarantee that you will become a Sniper.
