    I removed the 745 number because it's confusing him. But it's very clear that MOS 761, a Scout Sniper's role was scouting and providing reconnaissance and not just shooting. Which is exactly what I keep on saying and he keeps on telling me I am wrong. But he just posted where it clearly says that.
