This might be out of date info, been out of the loop for a couple decades but...

For USMC sniper school, you had to qualify twice in a row as expert AND be able to max the PFT twice with a 5 min rest between each go round.

I dont think anyone goes to sniper school right out of basic training. Might be different for US Army but Marines had be enlisted for at least one full year prior to entry.
