The ver;y first female Green Beret, 11 days ago.  Not strange that I
didn't know about it.  But the article does not say anything about her
being a sniper or a sharpshooter.  Though to have gotten this far, I
am sure she is a reasonable marksman (markswoman?).

Incidentally, full auto is the opposite of sharpshooting.  If you are
using it, you are spraying bullets in a general direction, not aiming.

It's still an unlikely career path, perhaps 1/100th the chances of a
high school football player getting into the NFL.
