MDS Episode #0084 A Legacy: The USMC Scout/Sniper

In this podcast Caylen and Phil discuss the current situation regarding the Marine Corps Scout Sniper Community, including the transition to Scout Platoons and the elimination of the 0317 MOS. They also touch on the definition of Marine scout sniper, their roles in combat and training, leadership failures, and some misconceptions about being a scout sniper in the infantry. Lastly, we discuss the impact of these changes on the community and the importance of continuing to train the next generation of snipers, scouts, or designated marksmen in the Marine Corps. It's great to hear about the dedication and hard work of these individuals who protect our country, and we hope to see them continue to succeed in their careers.   Join the Modern Day Rifleman Network:  School House   Modern Day Rifleman   Modern Day Sniper  MDS Instagram
