Officers?

[Vulture6]

An officer’s job is to lead – regardless of MOS and regardless of service (okay, we’re not talking about pilots here).

Yes, there is usually an officer in charge of a sniper platoon / unit. Is he a sniper? While he may be sniper qualified (I’ve never seen it), he won’t be employed as a sniper. Why? How the hell can you lead your men – probably dispersed across the battlefield – while you’re looking through a scope at a single target?

Can ARMY OFFICERS attend Sniper school or is it the same as in the Marine Corps ?

As a former Air Force officer, let me say that the Marines will tell you nothing is the same in the Marines as the Army.
