Don't say SNIPER!! The skills jerkers that protect the edifice of sniping will go nuts!! Don't you know it's a sacred art. Don't you know you have to pass the "Course."

I found this out to my cost when I presented my ideas on Patrol Based Infantry training at the Royal United Services Institute three years ago.

When I said recruits should be trained in a way "similar" to snipers, there was uproar. When I next went to the Infantry NCO school at Brecon, three or four instructors, said they were "insulted" by my suggestion.

Combat Hunter looks good. It's not what I would do, or the way I would do it, but it's sure as hell better than nothing. Kudos to the men who got it running. Methinks I see the hand of H John Poole in there somewhere!
