Inside the Marine Corps' New Recon Sniper Course | Pt. 2
Ойын-сауық
In this second and final installment of “Inside the Marine Corps' New Recon Sniper Course,” we trace the proud history of Marine Scout Snipers from their humble beginnings in World War II to the jungles of Vietnam, where the elite culture, training, and operations that modern Scout Snipers are known for were forged in fire and carried forward by legendary Marine Scout Sniper Carlos Hathcock and other extraordinary leaders.
And as we follow 10 students through the final phases of the first-ever Reconnaissance Sniper Course, we compare Scout Sniper training with the Recon community’s new nine-week course, hear from the instructors and architects of the new course, and get a picture of the road ahead as Marines from the Reconnaissance Training Company seek to build “the best sniper program that there is.”

Hopefully these snowflakes pull their heads out of their backsides and start acting like real Americans. I still belive in America and our troops deserve the support no matter the circumstance.

Time will show very soon if these guys are actually freedom fighters or just thugs for the left. I got out 2 years ago and even I couldn't tell you which way many guys might fall. Some of these guys for sure will just shoot whoever their told without question even if it's us if they are ordered. Hopefully the others stop them.

Formerly known as MOS 8541, now MOS 0317, these Reconnaissance Marines are Scout- Snipers are Expert Riflemen, Elite Marines, Extraordinary Men of War, where Semper Fidelis meets One Shot, One Kill, No Exceptions. GOD Bless these Gyrene ( GI Marine) Bullseye Boys!!🎯🇺🇸🦅🗽
Its sure changed a lot since my days as an 0326. Glad to see the Corps has stepped up and established our own program to set the standard for the rest. Semper Fi.
thank god we still have real men in this country

There are plenty of real men in America - but unfortunately a lot of traitors also. People that support a former president that called Marines lost in battle losers and suckers. A former president that said he didn't want to be seen next to wounded soldiers at military ceremonies. Don't worry about America having enough good men - worry about certain people on the far right trying to destroy American democracy and overthrow elections. As former Marines at Let's Travel we are not worried about calling a spade a spade and cult members cult members.
Nothing that makes me more proud than seeing troops getting the mission done. Whether in training or real time operations!
Semper fi Marine Force Recon Snipers leading the way
Very professional, very thorough. Hats off to the new Recon Sniper Course. Semper Fi!
The idea that our military would even consider getting rid of sniper training is nutz.
Marine sniper course is legendary
Thank you for covering this. Keep charging forward!
God bless the Marine Corp!
OORAH! LETS FUCKING GO!
Thank you Marines for your service.
Nice! Can you guys please consider doing an episode on the USMC's CQB School in Chesapeake, VA?

There is also a Urban Combat school in Pendleton and at Lejeune. I went though the school back in 90 ....yeah I know that was a million years ago...and it feels like it to me also.
Outstanding Semper Fi
This is so interesting. Thank you for sharing. So proud of these men. Love & light to you and your families. 💪😎👍
Been waiting for this for a while now.

Great series!
The Marine Corps without Scout Snipers is like heaven without its guardian angels!!
Yussssss. Been waiting so long for this. What is LTI'D may never die.
If I was 10 years younger I would be begging to come out of retirement and back on active duty... although I still P.T. age sucks... Nevertheless what a great course. Great addition. Just truly hope that the Corps doesn't drop the Scout Sniper course. Good to go.. Semper Fi Marines.
I really hope they got the funding that is a sickass course!
@LoganStark dude excellent production. Every year I watch your documentary. Glad to see you're still in the business. Hope you are doing well bro, semper.
God bless them and keep there aim true.
Amazing!
Excellent...
It’s interesting to see how elements of PRS shooting, and LE Urban marksmanship is integrated into the curriculum. And a few of the comments made reflect a lack of understanding as to how circumstances on the battlefield drive the tactics. If you use the term sniper a lot of guys think that translates into you always being in full ghillie, hidden in the shadows, and moving at a snails pace.
It's good to see the marine s stepping up to improve there persion core base to adapt and overcome...old grunt Airborne wishes for success Airborne.
Hey guys great job on the video. That was awesome 👍. Looks like that's some rigorous training. Thanks guys for pushing your limits and being a bad ass. That's professional af 💯💪💪💪💪💪💯💯💯💯

Dart and shoot. Toughest thing there is. When your heart is pounding and you need to be static
Nice clairvoyance by Filipe Tauyavutaka.
Everything has to be camouflaged and sneaky. Periscopes can still stand out out of a background for instance. Raise it against a dark b'ground, in a corner, at the edge, slowly, with a cardboard to break the shape. Most of the hits are head shots. I wish they could develop a sophisticated way of keeping heads from being exposed.

How are these guys barrels staying cool? They are firing rapid succession and I know that effects ballistics.
Just curious if this is a Force Recon or Fleet Recon activity. Thank you.
Anyone have the "Hog Book" or class syllabus/training matrix for this course? I loaned out my Hog Book and never got it back, but this course better suits the course I'm writing for the Legion.

*Pendleton*. And those of us from Lejeune would argue your point.
This and urban design should be integrated into scout sniper course permit
They need to update all of these courses to adapt to near-peer conflicts. If these operators try to use the old book to fight the new wars, they will get schwacked. Mavic 2 drones will spot you on your infil or stalk, and Russian arty will drop on your heads in less than 3.5 minutes. And if you laze your point targets, the Spider system will let the enemy soldier or tank know what direction you are. USMC warfare training doctrine is extremely slow to adapt. If you aren't on the eastern front in Ukraine, you aren't teaching the latest TTPs.

It's kinda strange that the m/40 A5s ain't in this video unless it's already been kicked out for these SASS guns. When in the hells did this happen?
It’s fucking hard to shoot with a single nvg, can’t even imagine having to snipe with one. Hats off boys, cheers.

Need to know the intro song so bad
Vs Ai helmets that tell them what to do
Obviously no one but then knows how hard this course actually is but maybe since no one dropped out then maybe a low dropout rate dosent mean it's easy it means they learn tons

I don't remember where I saw but one of the key predictors of success in USMC Scout/ Sniper School was being a Recon Marine. Reason being is yes, S/S School is obviously hard, but if you've already gone to and passed BRC, you're familiar with hard training, rucking, swimming, staying up late and waking up early, etc. etc. It's not a guarantee of success, but it puts your chances above the chances of an 0311 LCpl that came from a victor unit that has never done or been exposed to anything as hard as BRC or SSBC before..

I am not sure how they are doing it with the Recon Sniper program but what I read of Ranger snipers is that the sniper team leader is the spotter and already spent his time as the shooter. The shooter is getting his DOPE and corrections from the spotter. In some cases, the shooter may outrank his team leader or spotter. For example, Nicholas "The Reaper" Irving was a sergeant in the Rangers and out-ranked his spotter. Anyway, God bless the USA, God bless the Marines, and God bless the Recon Sniper Course. Now, they will get out there and save so many lives. From guided missions to overwatch for other units and MOS jobs. I could see them providing overwatch for a batch of Raiders, for example.

Love that sneaky strat tactic. The DoD wont yet realize that you've set up a BETTER (ok. More advanced) sniper training pipeline when they nix the SSC. And being under MARSOC you'll have a bit more top cover and budget. Haha. Thinking outside the box. Or working the angles. You pick
