Soldier Sniper's Prayer by Buck Conrad
Dear Lord, I address thee with respect and fear, for I am a soldier sniper and ask but three things be granted to me in these times of horror and death wrought by man’s inhumanity to man, called war.
First, dear Lord, I ask that I may be silent and unseen in my quest to perform my duty with perseverance, loyalty, honor and courage.
Second, may I shoot straight and kill my much respected enemy quickly, with one shot so that he does not suffer and writhe in pain.
Lastly dear Lord, I ask that you grant me the ability to be cunning and smart in my quest to be victorious over my enemy and adapt to whatever he may put before me by using the assets you have placed on this earth and the abilities instilled within me as a trained soldier sniper.
I pray you will forgive me for filling the halls of your heavenly house with souls, for I am a true believer in Jesus the Christ, your son, his resurrection and his promise of forgiveness and life everlasting…Amen

Son, the Corps will show you any and everything you need to know about firearms. You have a looooong road ahead of you before you can even consider becoming a sniper. That said, you will not want to use any rifle but your own. It will be made to your specific body size and dimensions. You will practice with it until it becomes an extension of your body. Semper Fi and thank you.

I only learned one "prayer" in the Marine Corps, and it's not really a prayer. It's called the rifleman's creed.
This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. It is my life. Without me my rifle is useless. without my rifle I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit.
My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, It;s strengths, it's parts, it's accessories, it's sights and it's barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other.
Before god I swear this creed. My rifle and I are defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace.
