Military Service:

• Rank: Sergeant

  Branch/Position: Marine Corps

  Period: July 2002 - July 2009

  Occupation: 0317 - Scout Sniper

  Duties Description:
  Marines are qualified in Marine Infantry or Marine RECON units, trained to use precision rifle fire at selected targets from a concealed position. These actions are typically accomplished in any environment and long range with little support from other Marine or military assets. In support of combat operations, scout snipers are highly regarded in times of war, as they are skilled in enemy surveillance, stealth and concealment, and marksmanship. Snipers can be easily deployed in urban population centers and effectively engage individual targets without collateral damage to civilian lives or property.
