[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1503547, member: 42"] PJ's and other AFSOC types do have sniper qualified folks....but George is a Security Forces "Sharpshooter", as defined by the Special Experience Identifier (SEI) assigned to folks who graduate the "[I]Close[/I] Precision Engagement Course". Different school (not the same as Army or Marine sniper schools) and [I]far[/I] different mission and employment. It speaks to his character that he has not disavowed the use of the term AF Sniper to describe him. Not that he has much choice on the TV show production side, but he has held on to his claim of being a sniper on the History channel forums. He still deserves some respect for taking the oath and performing in a tough job, but taking credit for being something you are not is a bit souring. [/QUOTE]
