  no requirement for snipers during BMT
  i'm sure you're PC and PS don't like to be sniped by anyone.
  
  There are snipers in CDOs, Guards, Infantry Brigades etc. many avenues. when you enlist, or if you have enlisted... check out with your commanders on the entry requirements and vacancies.

  Did you just finished watching the movie "Shooter"?
  
  I suggest you do some reading regarding sniping, sniper, weapons, etc.
  
  Sniper training is really really tough lor...and yeah, lots of discipline required...

  you think sniper is fun? try sitting at the same spot for hours waiting for your target to appear, and when target appears, you have 1 chance.

  There are. But make sure you have lotsa patience like me...
  Hmmm. Give you good example. at 2am sit at your table, turn off the lights, and see how long before you fall asleep. If you can tahan for 3 hours I'll say you have the aptitude. The rest is training.
  
  Also make sure you are not caffeine immune like me!

  My fren posted to Cdo was sent for sniper training. Says it depends on luck whether you sniper anot?
  
  Its no fun anyway, must lug sniper rifle and crawl everywhere in the ghille(sp) suit. Say he always kena skin infection. Just imagine you are wet, muddy with a slimy suit stuck to you and you still have another 200m to crawl. Thank god never send me there.
  
  Anyway one good thing is no need clean weapon for sniper. Surprising but apparently the rifle is a high precision weapon so trying to jam your cleaning rod in will damage it.
