The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Marine Scout Sniper’s are History
The Everyday Sniper Podcast: Marine Scout Sniper's are History
Disturbing news dropped this week, on Tuesday, One day before the anniversary of Carlos Hathcock's passing, the USMC announced they are doing away with Scout Snipers as they currently exist.
Traditions mean nothing anymore and the Marines are being gutted in a lot of way.
Tim Parkhurst President of the Scout Sniper Association is on the podcast with me discussing the details. Tim lays out the new orders and the direction the USMC plans on taking themselves in terms of the Sniper community.
It appears from Tim's reading of the Orders the Basic Scout Sniper School is going away. In fact the 0317 MOS will be retired, going away.
The details are public if you want to dig deeper. But I really appreciate Tim reaching out to me regarding this development.
With that said, the USMC Scout Sniper Association is stronger than ever with a lot of events and plans in motion. Check out the Website for all the details, and be sure to support where you can. https://scoutsniper.org/
Also we are currently engaged in our 03/17 Day Sweepstakes for the Terry Cross Rifle I spoke about, you can enter here: https://scoutsniper.org/scout-sniper-annual-sweepstakes/
Terry Cross Zealot Rifle package with NF Scope is available.
Guys as always, thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, be sure to comment, and thank you Tim for joining me today.

General Berger! He’s got his stars during the Obama administration that should tell you enough. From what I’ve read he hates us and our guts. I don’t understand why everybody wants to be special when just being a Marine is special. But taking away SSBC and and the urban SOTG package is ludacris! Quick fix for your phone is to take a piece of electrical tape and put it over your front facing camera same with the microphone.

WTF OVER!!! I’m actually calling some senators and congressman to see if they can push the commandant off this idiotic thinking. As far as communications to go I have to disagree just because I’ve had to do comm shots with halfway of dipoles in Korean mountains that quadruple canopy jungle, desert ect. The communications that Tim are talking about is basically an air gap that you can transmit like he said encrypted with your team and then it sends it over I believe CDMA microwave transmission.
