SRP

The SRP was a good paper overall. The things that I did well were being able to write good lengthy sections. Some of my research was pretty well thought out. Some things I did bad was paraphrasing and quotes. I did not even that out enough. Also editing my paper at the end. What I would like to do over is to save my sites at the beginning and being able to relate to my thesis more.

I would recommend to the next senior class to just follow the deadlines. That is the main thing, but also to really research about your author and book.

Snipers

For most of us, the word "sniper" evokes some unsettling imagery -- a lone gunman, undetectable, on the hunt. And while military snipers are indeed elite shooters who hide, line up a target in their sights and pull the trigger, there is a lot more to it than that. When a sniper takes a shot, there are countless variables to consider before squeezing the trigger --- wind speed, wind direction, range, target movement, mirage, light source, temperature, barometric pressure, and that's just the beginning. The work that goes into getting a good position to take a shot is immense. That's why snipers always work in pairs. Surprised? Most people are. These highly skilled marksmen are often perceived as lone assassins racking up "confirmed kills." In reality, true snipers work for the military and law enforcement agencies and are far more concerned with the number of lives they save than with the ones they take. Because of the secretive and stealthy nature of the work, not too many people know what's really involved in being a sniper. A sniper is a highly trained soldier who specializes in shooting targets with modified rifles from incredibly long distances. They're also adept in stealth, camouflage, infiltration, and observation techniques. Military snipers are used in a variety of missions on the battlefield, and the sniper's primary mission has nothing to do with pulling a trigger. The main battlefield role of the sniper is reconnaissance. Because snipers are masters of stealth, they are perfectly suited to sneak behind enemy lines to provide command with information about the enemy's size, strength and location.
