Introduce Yourself

Hey guys Matt here!

I know you can read my bio on the website but wanted to start off the discussions with an introduction like a proper forum should have.

I am still active duty in the Marine Corps and am quickly approaching my 20 year mark (here comes my first retirement!) I have been in the Sniper community for over 12 years, and have been in a unique position to have been instructing for almost 10 of them now. I was originally bummed about it due to wanting to continue to deploy and do what Marines do! But after a few years I realized I was given an awesome opportunity to stay in tune with the latest and greatest equipment and techniques for our skill set.

I have been able to see what all the units are teaching and where they are operationally through the students coming through the courses that I have been assigned to. With this unicorn experience (as me and my fellow operators have dubbed my situation) I have been able to tailor training packages that can specifically address short falls with other units based of how effective others are.

I have also been able to mass a huge network of industry leading instructors, companies, developers, and experts. Which means if I can not answer your question directly I most certainly can reach out to someone who can!

With all that being said please introduce yourself here, let us know who you are, were your from, what you do, and what your goals are so we can all get better together!
