In the military, they call snipers masters of “one shot, one kill.”
Now a female soldier in the Montana Army National Guard has become the first woman to join the elite cadre following her graduation from the Army‘s grueling training course.
The soldier, who has not been identified, was selected for the U.S. Army Sniper Course following her graduation from infantry basic training at Fort Benning, Ga. She became the first woman to complete the course on Nov. 5, Army officials said.
“She epitomizes what it means to be an infantry soldier and there wasn’t a doubt in our minds that she would succeed in the U.S. Army sniper course. We’re all extremely proud of her,” said Capt. Joshua O’Neill, the soldier’s company commander during basic training.
She enlisted in the Montana Army National Guard in December 2020 and began the seven-week sniper course in September. In addition to honing a soldier’s marksmanship skills, the intensive course teaches subjects ranging from detecting and stalking a target to effective concealment and camouflage.
Was it Hillary !!!!!!!
Obviously congrats. I remember the days of service when we were not told about honors like this and for common sense reasoning. I also know when bad things were swept under the rug. Im all for ousting the bad things but the need to shine the light based on society pressures….i just dont know. Im glad another sniper is out there to protect our freedoms, but is it useful aside for saying look at us, we have the first (insert sex or race) who has accomplished this?
