    I'm sorry but; I look at this and think "Marines can shoot LAZER BEAMS...FROM THERE EYES!!!". I think the the situational awarness and body language aspects are probably very useful, but some of it may not be the best use of training time IMNSHO.

    Don't get me wrong. I would love to use the word "Sniper" - but it has become so loaded, with "dark art" connotations, that it has ceased to be useful in progressing the need.

    ...and I'm no Sniper, but I have shot a snipe! My brothers still pissed as it was a little close to his head at the time!

    - The job of the British Army out here is to kill or capture Communist Terrorists in Malaya.
    - If we can double the ratio of kills per contact, we will soon put an end to the shooting in Malaya.
