*THE METRIC*
The Metric was developed by us to evaluate the LE Sniper as a complete system.
No single skill makes a sniper proficient. Operational performance is the ability to accomplish a mission while managing multiple tasks simultaneously whether it be deployment, movement, equipment management, problem solving, target identification, decision making, and ultimately, accountability.
The Metric is not intended to be a pass/fail event. Its purpose is for the Sniper to finish the evaluation and say “I can do that better next time.” To identify weaknesses in equipment, process, and approach so they become strengths the next time.
Every time we’ve run The Metric, the Sniper has walked away wanting to change something, improve something, or refine something. That’s the goal.
Because an honest evaluation doesn’t tell you what you’re good at. It tells you what to work on next.
More on this soon…
