Official date the USAMU opened the US Army's modern Sniper School.
Was it around 1986-'87? From what I was told by Rangers and SF that came through my classes in '85-'86, the USAMU had various marksmanship programs but no Sniper corriculum at all. And, that the Instuctor billets would be appointed by the USAMU from recent @ 24 months of graduates from Quantico and Division Schools. Thanks for any particulars and corrections. |

Only thing I can see is that maybe they transposed the last two digits....78.....87.
