C 3 familairization course

[Jeff Boomhouwer]

I have been slotted on the next course and was wondering what to expect and if there are any tips for what kit you wish you had while on course, thanks.

My apologies to interrupt, but if you could PM me and perhaps give me an outline of what the requirements are for the course, that would be greatly appreciated.

A buddy of mine went on it last year or the year before. He said he was pretty disipointed. I think it's only a week-end or something?
It's not a course. It's just a familairization of the C3 Sniper rifle. You get to play around with it. I think he said he fired like 5 rounds with it or something like that.  They had a .50 cal sniper rifle there but it was just to look at and play with, not to shoot.

That sounds a heck of a lot better than it was described to me. 4 week-ends worth of work and great training.

BOOMER004 make sure you really pay attention to your classes so you can bring what you learn back to your regiment and pass it onto the privates and corporals.
