I've only met one actual sniper. He served in WW2 in the same unit as my dad. He was well into his 80's when he and my father crossed paths once again in a seniors complex in Edmonton. The gentleman did have an air about him, they went well with his steel grey eyes. He told no horrid stories of the war, much like my father, they only mused about individuals, and some of the lighter hearted moments they encountered.
There is one other fellow which whom I served in the reserves with, he went Reg force after I left the unit. He had topped the Basic Reece Patrolman Course(first time they allowed reservists to take the course) last heard he was allegedly a sniper in JTF2, but given the years I'd say that he's now a civilian or flying a desk.
Then there's the ex military sniper and somewhat disgraced EPS member(my best friend did his selection interview for the EPS) doesn't everybody know this guy?
