A Typical Sniper

If, after graduating, a student chooses to become a sniper he is sent to "the nest". The nest is the perch where the snipers routinely shoot from. There he goes through more training, either looking downrange through a scope or studying ballistics charts. Students are taught to compensate for wind, bullet drop, drift, target movement, as well as shooting from an elevated position, a depressed position, and target leading. Through numerous classroom and field sessions, the student is slowly introduced to these factors. Once he has displayed a certain skill in these areas, he is told to make his own ghillie suit. The construction of a ghillie suit takes about one week and is a ritual task among snipers. Once the sniper has finished his ghillie suit, he is allowed to choose his rifle. He is then assigned to one of the four sniper units.

Note: There can be a maximum of ten snipers. Currently there are eight.
