-You are one of the few remaining warriors on the changing battlefield; you must strive to attain the objectives set by your forebears and further those boundaries once they are met.

-Respect all soldiers and utilize your own knowledge to assist and aid without fostering needless elitism.

-Be inquisitive and seek out knowledge; you do not stop learning; the sniper who has nothing to learn, has nothing to live for and will quickly die.

-Stay at your peak of both physical and mental fitness at all times.


-Be courageous without being impulsive, determined without obstinacy and open among closed minds.

-Never underestimate your enemy or judge him by previous actions as he may have improved. Out-think your enemy and you will also out-live him.

-Remain calm and be resolved before committing to action; nobody has less firepower than you.

-The best rifle in the world is of no use without ammunition. Protect your ammunition and use it wisely.

-Remain true to the simple code of soldiery - first my rifle and then myself.

-Understand the battle plan fully and how your actions will affect it .

-Personal integrity and strength to acknowledge your limitations are qualities, not faults.

-Learn how many defer to rank or status, so that in the magnified and silent world of the sniper the leader can never hide.

-You must protect and save the lives of your comrades by effectively removing danger and not embark on your own crusades.

-Deception and surprise are just as powerful as your rifle; make use of them.
