Sniper School

The sniper school of the United States Marine Corps is one of the hardest military schools in the world. As the legend goes, before you qualify as a sniper, after you have completed all the physical requirements including shooting, you have to answer some questions.

The last and the hardest question is the following:

"You are positioned on a tree. It is on the edge of a clearing. The clearing is your kill zone. You must kill the first thing, whatever it will be, that enters that zone, and you must kill it with your first shot. Until you have completed this mission, you have to sit on that tree, you must not move, eat, drink, pee, or do anything else, lest you scare your prey away."

"After you've been sitting on that tree for four hours, in the sun, wind and rain, not moving a muscle, a six-year old girl enters the clearing, with a baby on her arm. What is the very very first thing that you feel?"

Correct Answer: "Sir, recoil, Sir!"
