i made a ghillie suit.

wow, what a fire storm. the way i see it sniper=range. real guns, you have a HUGE variety of range, ammo, scopes etc.

we are all playing make believe with little balls of paint, using some air, therefore no one player is at much of an advantage when range is the deciding factor. i have the deffinition of sniper listed below. paintball players can at best meet about 1/2 of that, (on a good day).

A sniper is an infantry combatant or serviceman (e.g. police officer) who specializes in shooting from a concealed position over longer ranges than regular infantry, often with a specially designed or adapted sniper rifle. A sniper requires skill in marksmanship, camouflage, and field craft. Military snipers are also adept at carrying out methods of infiltration, reconnaissance, and observation techniques.

I started all this with a post about a ghilli suit. my goal, was to be less seen, and have a new way to play. for all you Jr. Tom Beringers who wish to be real snipers, keep dreaming.

Fred Rogers went directly to college after high school.  He got a job right out of college.  There are no gaps in his education or employment that would account for military service.

Don't worry about it.  You can always dig around and find out how Captain Kangaroo and Lee Marvin served together in the Marine Corps and helped take Iwo Jima.
