Sniper Check

A sniper check is not a preventive drill to avoid a sudden burst of fire, though it is a good idea. No, it refers to a salute in this circumstance. Why? When in the field, you’re not supposed to salute an officer as normal, because that’s a sure sign for snipers that they have a valuable target.

In any case, if things go horribly wrong on a mission due to inefficiency or negligence, the participants may be forced to eat an extremely uncomfortable sandwich. We sincerely hope only symbolically.
