	Sniper - InformationBlast
		Snipers are generally volunteers accepted for sniper training on the basis of perceived aptitude by their commanders.
		Sniper training typically lasts a number of weeks during which the core skills of camouflage, concealment, moving tactically over terrain, observation and rifle shooting under varying conditions are developed and honed.
		Snipers do, however, require a different type of psyche to the average soldier – they must be comfortable being alone for long periods, be very self-reliant and be comfortable with doing 'cold-blooded' kills – attributes that not every soldier will share.

		Austin only had one full-scale emergency room at that time, in Brackenridge Hospital, a city-run facility on I-35 about ten blocks south of the UT area.
