According to that thread Tunnel Rat is a sniper cause his gun has a big ol' scope on it.

Yeah, and didn't Recondo have some sniper qualifications? Maybe Spirit?

I'm not seeing any for Recondo in his filecards. Spirit has qualified expert with a Remington sniper rifle listed.

Recondo has none. Spirit is a maybe. I think he'd make a better spotter then shooter.

Well, having a marksmen rating with a weapon and having Sniper training are two different things. Urban Snipers are trained in assessing and setting up the proper FFP, lead, wind management, etc. Recon guys receive Search-escape-evasion training. Force Recon are trained to recognize foreign brands of tobacco by scent. There is a lot more that goes into it than just being able to hit a target at distance.

absolutely, we are on the same page here. I was just making a statement, which was probably redundant considering the audience.

Yeah, it's funny that Tunnel Rat is listed as a sniper in that thread but it was also odd that he was given an M60 with a scope. Not the kind of weapon I'd want on hand crawling through tight dark tunnels.
