Hi Mr Furlong,

I am aspiring to be a sniper in the marines soon I just have a few questions.

How rough is the training to be a sniper I know it's one of the hardest, which is one of the reasons I want to be one, but what's the training like?

I have glasses will that hold me back as at all even if I were to get corrective surgery on my eyes?

How hard is calculating the wind speed/drag and fall of the bullet?

Thanks!

Wow thank you. Just one more question

Did you acquire most of your marksman training before your enlistment?

I've never had anyone to take me out and shoot I've always been a good shot but not great. Do you think the lack of past with guns will affect my ability? Or my progress to say be as great as you.

Wow that makes me so happy I bought my first rifle and I haven't had tome to take it to the range so I have been worried since I'm planning on enlisting in August
