Always thought that the Quantico reference in Bullhorn's filecard was a nod to the FBI Academy, and not necessarily the Marine Corps installation. He always struck me as a civilian FBI HRT-type (what with him being an "intervention specialist" and all), sort of like how Shockwave seemed to have come directly from a civilian position (Detroit SWAT) and bypassed military training and entered the Joe team (as an aside, I always thought it odd that Shockwave's "Primary MOS" was SWAT and not Military Police, which leads me to think that he was always intended to be a civilian member of the Joe team, the E-4 rank notwithstanding).
Even if Bullhorn were a Marine though, don't mistake being an SRT marksman -- which is what I think he would be if he were Army or USMC (his accessories seem to be geared towards law enforcement) -- with being a sniper. Those are two different jobs that require different skills (with long-range marksmanship being the common thread binding the two) and are sourced from different MOSes (snipers are infantry, SRT marksmen are MPs). He could also be a USMC FAST Company RTT/CQB Team marksman (which would make him infantry, but not necessarily a formally-trained sniper).
