I was thinking the same thing, just didn't want to be the first to admit it.

Have you figured out what the acronym C.A.R.V.E.R., stands for?

The kid has gone underground. Several QP's chimed in with PM's when I first posted the question days ago. I was hoping to hear from the kid with an attempt to answer the question, when he first asked if all SFer's went to school, or only the 18B's, blah, blah, blah.

Actually, if he did google SOTIC and sniper he would find a bit of info on the course and pre-reqs. And he can find that CARVER applies to snipers as well.

And if they don't, we get to stand around the SGM's desk looking at targets and laughing at them! It's even funnier when the Regimental CSM unloads on the SFG(A) CSMs for sending guys who don't meet pre-reqs and can't do the shoot-ins. (FAGs are easy to entertain.  )

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

And he asked for the targets again.
I realize OPTEMPO can be a detriment but dam guys, it only takes a day on the range to get back into the swing of things.
As a FAG on my side I tend to stay away from the fireworks or I may say something "inappropriate".
But being a kindly old gentleman, I try to refrain from unkindly remarks.

CARVER
Criticality: How important, in a strategic context, is the target? What effect will its destruction have on other elements of the target system? Is it more important to have real-time surveillance of the target (e.g., a road junction) than its physical destruction?
Accessibility: Can an SR team reach or sense the target, keep it under surveillance for the appropriate time, and then exfiltrate after the target is struck?
Recuperability: When the target is destroyed by fire support or direct action, In the case of DA missions, can the enemy repair, replace, or bypass it quickly, minimum resources? If so, it may not be a viable target.
Vulnerability: do SR (including DA) and supporting units have the capability to destroy the target?
Effect: Beyond pure military effect are the political, economic, legal, and psychological effects of destroying the target? How would the attack affect local civilians?
Recognizability: Can the target be recognized clearly, by SR and attack forces, under the prevailing weather, light, and in its terrain? If there are critical points within the target, they also must be recognizable by the means of destruction used.
