I generally don't give negative reviews, but overall, I was disappointed. First, the book is written in Military "Class Outline" format, (and yes I knew this buying the book, and yes I was a Marine Corps Combat Instructor and VERY familiar with these type of outlines), but this means that almost half of the written content has nothing to do with accual useable information but about "instructor prompts" such as gaining attension of the class and how to motivate them to learn the material. The BIGGEST FLAW is that the book constantly references charts and slides (TP#1, TA#6 etc...) but DOESN'T INCLUDE THEM IN THE BOOK! It appears very DATED, if you are at all familiar with older military printouts, this is still one. I hope they (USMC SS School) have updated thier outlines, in look if not for material. If you looking for indidual skills you'll LEARN more just studing a Data Book or reading on line, but then the little info it does include I learned in basic Infantry school and am presuming if you are studing this type of material you already know most of it. For example, total amount of info on "Gillie Suit"; about one paragraph basicly saying to use one. If you are looking into weather or not to employ military snipers, or gain a basic knowledge of thier use in various operations, it may be interesting. Good Luck and Be safe.

this book is everything i expected it to be. explains everything you would learn in the USMC sniper school. it's a little basic at first, but is a great source of knowledge on the subject.
