They said it’s not an MOS change or anything just a course you can go on. The only course I can find is the urban sniper course but I don’t know that anyone other than scout snipers can go on it. Can anyone confirm or deny that there is a course like this for non-grunts to go on?Is there a sniper course for non-grunt Marines?2018-06-15T12:32:10-04:00LCpl Private RallyPoint Member3713963<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Question for any Marines that may know.

I imagine you guys have a similar course.
