Hello everyone my names Xavier but everyone on this site can just call me X :P

I was wondering which branch of the military would suite me because im just so confused. I wanna join the USMC to become a scout sniper. But then again I wanna do demolition so I would have a nice job once i leave the military. But other than that its all good, I know im definately joing the military I just need assistance with chooseing the things that will get me where i need to go :P

hmmm, wants to kill and or blow things up in preperation for future civilian life? Kind of at a loss here son. Don't know of too many civie trades where this type of experiences will help.

Demolition is used in civilian life ...

Like that for an instance nothing drastic man im crazy but i would never hurt an innocent person. Just wanna get my future planned out you know.

What im trying to say is I wanna be a sniper ....
(I'll make it simple...)

If I wanted to be a sniper what would you guys opinion be on what service to get into for that ?

And what service (Branch) if any would provide a skill of demolition?

Just answer that for me and I will research the rest :P Thank you

ok, keeping with 'simple' in mind:
You have 2 choices a) the Army or b) the Marines.

Both can provide what you are looking for 'IF' you qualify.

Do you know what the qualifications are for both ?

Google search engine should be able to pull that up in no time.

You can also search the forums here for sniper info. Ever since that damn movie came out, everyone wants to be a sniper--

And, for civilian jobs, there are uses for a sniper, though limited. SWAT, FBI HRT, etc.

Sorry I am one of less knowledge, but may I ask whats HRT ?

And I have been shooting a gun long before I could understand a sniper movie. Been hunting in Alabama every year since I was 9. First gun was a Marlin semi-auto ... I think it held 22-23 bullets in a tube under the barrel. I forget how many bullets it held but it was around that (sorry to jump off topic)

HRT - Hostage Rescue Team.

Ya know, them guys that shot up Waco and Ruby Ridge...they're famous now.

i would go with USAF then u can fly jets when u get out

Actually, the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and yes the Air Force flies jets. All but the Army will be soon flying the Joint Strike Fighter F-35A/B/C.

The Army flying jets? When did that happen?

The Army really does fly jets...however, they are not fighterjets. C-20, C35. (Army versions of a Learjet type)Army fixed-wing

OK, it is news to me (as so many things are!).

I was mainly responding to this new guy cyclone's assertion that one has to go Air Force to fly jets when they get out.

yeah, when I was in Palmdale two weeks ago, I was on the flightline and was having a chat with one of the test pilots on the Marine version. Its an amazing aircraft, particularly with three varients on the same airframe.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/x-35-variants.htm This is new F-35 it has four different Versions USAF,USN,USMC and Great Britian all are different.

yeah the brit version is basically the Marine version with different emblems on the fuselage....

I read that I wonder why is their Military Budget so low that they could only order one type for all.
