That the Corps can do this while being underfunded and with certain MOSs undermanned is nothing short of remarkable. They really do more with less. As my dad would say (USMC 1954-1975), "that's the Marine Corps way."
I am all for more agility and lethality, but I hope the Redesign 2030 is not cutting off the nose to spite the face. I am not optimistic that the changes with the sniper community isn't just that.
