The United States Marine Corps Scout Sniper (MOS0317, formerly 8541) was a secondary MOS designator of U.S. Marine Corps infantrymen and reconnaissance Marines that have graduated from a U.S. Marine Corps Scout Sniper School. Scout Snipers were required to earn the rank of Lance Corporal, be selected by their battalion to join the scout-sniper platoon, and complete an approved scout-sniper course in order to receive this designation. As of December 2023, Marine scout snipers (0317 MOS) have been reorganized as MOS 0322 Reconnaissance Sniper Marines, as part of a 26-Marine Scout Platoon.

In an effort to keep the torch lit, and pass it on accordingly, we stand as a testament to the knowledge that created the first 8541 Marine Corps Scout Sniper.

Teaching you straight from the FMFM 1-3B that turned P.I.Gs into H.O.Gs from 1976 to 2023.

We bring the torch to you, providing everything from the integrated classroom and range time, to the PPE (personal protective equipment) and the Remington 700 models that served as the legendary M40 platform taught in the FMFM 1-3b Manual.
