The Army NG unit(39th) infantry is offering these courses, can anyone tell anything about these?

Question

Close Precision Engagement Course (CPEC),///the Army Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) producing Sniper Course,///Squad Designated Marksman Course.

What are they, how do I apply, Can I get them in my contract, Do they choose me, How hard is it too get into, etc, etc.

The 39th NG unit has a Sniper Course in the Camp(In Camp Robinson, Little Rock, Arkansas).

I am not in the Army NG but I'm planning on joining when i turn 17 in a year, 11BangBang(11B).

I'm a avid hunter and consider myself an expert with a rifle at long ranges, I have won several marksmenship compititions, and know the inside and out of many Army issue Sniper Rifles(including the M16 and M4)

Ok...none of you have answered my question...about "Close Precision Engagement Course (CPEC),///the Army Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) producing Sniper Course,///Squad Designated Marksman Course."

I know what you have too do to apply for a sniper postion in your unit....What I want too know is can anyone tell anything about the couses i stated above....???....

Thx

typo 'courses'

Answer 1

You can try to get them in yor contract, but I dont' think it's necessary. The Guard is shorthanded on Snipers across the board. If you request the school and your regular Qual scores are good, you should be given the school pretty easily.

Answer 2

Unless things have changed in the last five years, you can't enlist in the National Guard as an 11B. Anyhow, you can get those schools in your contract, but they might not want to put them in there. You can get anything in your contract if they're willing to put it there. I think the sniper course is at Ft. Benning. Actually, they all appear to be infantry in nature and may all be at Ft. Benning.

Answer 3

To qualify as Army sniper you will have to shoot a constant group at 800 Meters
