In sniper school, when you first get in, your are known as a P.I.G. (i cannot remember what that stands for so maybe Google is might tell us).
But, basically what it meant is, when you first get to school, they give you a necklace made of a single strand of leather (a little leather rope) with a plastic bullet with a hole drilled into it to put the leather strand through so you could wear it around your neck as a necklace. You are now a P.I.G.
One shot, one kill...
After sniper school...
When snipers get into combat, to become a H.O.G...they must kill a combatant, get to him, check him out for info, then take one REAL bullet from the combatants rifle...that bullet was meant for the sniper! Kill, or be killed...
He now takes that one bullet meant for him, takes it from the casing, drills a hole in it and replaces the plastic bullet from when he became a P.I.G.
You are now know as a H.O.G.
One shot, one kill.
This video was sooo cool! Thanks...

That's one of the best things I've seen in a long time. Besides the shooting, the guy's reaction to the recognition is so great. He looks great for 86, too.

Great story! Thanks!
And remember, if you are near Ft. Benning, Georgia, go check out the Infantry Museum. You will appreciate what they have done there.

Snipers are always the people i'd never want to be a ******** with, they just have always seemed like the ultimate soldier

While I was at Fort Benning I got a chance to receive a block of instruction from the Army Marksmanship Unit and watch those guys do their thing.
You talk about some bad dudes...maximum range is classified, but I wouldn't be surprised if these guys could shoot someone from over a mile away.
