I think snipercounty.com (IIRC) is a good source on the topic in general with some Marines popping up there.

I have a buddy in the First Cav. He's a sniper. His tour is in Sadr City. His letters stopped about three months ago.

Congrats to your nephew.

Only thing I know about Marine snipers is that I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one!

Some day you'll have to ask your nephew to show you his "Scout Sniper" brand.

Interesting, tonight's "Mail Call" had a segment about Marine snipers.

The US military no longer has snipers. But, the perps in Ghan & Iraq sure hate US sharpshooters.

May the lord keep him safe, for his skills are needed badly in the most fearsome places on the globe.

I'm sure if your nephew calls John Hero Kerry he'll tell him how to hide real good.He can also get some pointers on how to obtain purple hearts for minor scrapes and the occaisional rice grain that gets stuck between his teeth.We have a real warrior running for president named John Rambo Kerry.
