Firstly, get physically fit. Normal fitness is the absolute minimum, but in addition to that, you need to look at a few things that you would not normally do. Wear\n a backpack. Carrying a backpack requires practice to get used to and nothing else you could do can substitute for actually doing it. Put some weight in the backpack. I would suggest about 10 - 25 kgs. \nToughen up your feet. You will be wearing boots which are not "sneakers", and wearing boots is a lot tougher on your feet than you can imagine. It is a pretty good idea to start trying to run and excercise in boots. You can try using Methylated spirits; rub a little onto your feet every day. \nTake nylon woman's stockings with you. Wear them under everything ie put them on first then your socks and boots. They will help you to avoid blisters. If you wear them all the way up to your waist, then they will help you to avoid chafing between your legs as well. \nTake a lot of Asprin with you. Half a tablet taken each morning will help to ease the normal aches and pains that you will experience. (Check of you are allowed to do this.. I am no expert on what the US military will or will not allow).\nIgnore "folk-lorish" advice like "Never volunteer". You are signing up to become an Officer. You need to get used to the fact that you should be a leader, and leaders need to lead. Sometimes this means volunteering. Just choose as best you can what you volunteer for. This can sometimes be difficult as DIs are notoriously clever at making things difficult, but they notice things like willingness and good attitudes and this will stand you in good stead. \nBe prepared to "eat soup with a spoon". By this I mean that a lot of the things that you will be required to do and learn will seem incredibly foreign to what you consider to be normal or even reasonable, but baring truly sadistic or immoral behaviour, be prepared to do things without understanding the reasons why you are asked to do them. \nMake a friend quickly once you are assigned to your training platoon. Best if this is the person who sleeps next to you. Work together with this person on personal tasks like cleaning boots, making your bed, cleaning your rifle etc. Helping someone else learn is the fastest way to learn to do it yourself.\nDisengage your normal inclination to look for reasons for people's actions and the things you are required to do. A lot of the things that you will have to do will appear to be completely against all logic or reason. This might in fact be the case, and the test is to see what your attitude is or to test your ability to lead others in a task that has no apparent purpose.\nWork on your fear of heights. Everyone has a fear of heights, but most people are able to supress that fear to accomplish a task. You might need to work on this more or less than other people, but it is a good idea to be prepared to for example, climb over an obstacle. \nWork together as a team with those around you. One of the primary objectives of Basic Training is to form a group of individuals into a group that will work together to achieve a common objective. This will be observed and tested. \nPrepare yourself to follow orders. This can be more difficult than you expect. During basics, you can be pretty sure that there will be very few instances where you actually have to think at all about whether the order is a legal one or not, but be aware of the possible abuse of power. You might be tested on your ability to discern the difference between a legal order and an illegal one, but this should be made pretty clear to you at the time,\nRead as widely as you can about the military and military life. Ask questions like this and read the answers. Select the ones that that other veterans agree with. \nDon't fuss or worry. Prepare yourself as best as you are able. The POINT of Basic Training is to turn you into a soldier. You are NOT expected to arrive there knowing everyt

A great leader is first a servant.  Look at yourself as a servant of those under you.  Make them your #1 priority.  Don't consider them as fodder to throw in front of cannons to further your own goals.  Think of them as individuals who depend on you to make good decisions.\n\nFrom your ID I take it you're an aspiring military leader.  If so, then study history.  Dedicate yourself to learning the lessons of the past and not repeating the mistakes others have made.

I don't remember his name but i recall hearing about a guy in the army in the vietnam era who didn't fight because the army kept him in America because he was such a good shooter it made good PR for the army. I remember being told that he could toss asprin in the air and shoot it with a .22.

Watch the pros do it. Research has proven that if u see somebody do something u become better at it. So go watch some Hawk and Alva.

Start your own team and enter, or even better, go to paintball fields regularly, meet the people that are on teams and get them to like you.  Then ask them to be on their team.  Maybe you'll have to start out as an alternate.\n\nEverything in life is about knowing people.  Get out, get to know other people and get to be known by other people.

Firm and steady trigger pulls.  Don't just squeeze the trigger.  Pull back slowly enough that that when you shoot it surprises you.  If you are using a rifle keep the rifle butt firmly against the pit of your shoulder.  If you are lying on the ground in prone position, shoot on full exhale of your breath for consistent shots.  When standing, a good stance is important, like a boxer's stance.  Having a good stance in any position gives firm balance and increases your recovery from recoil.  \n\nWhen aiming through sights focus on the tip of your gun sight, dont focus on the target.  Your target should look fuzzy and the tip of your gun be in focus.\n\nOver 100 yards even these little adjustments have a big effect on your aim. At 500 yards good marksmanship is vital in order to hit anything.

By me being a shooting guard, tht's easy. You don't have to be the best shooter on the floor to be a star. It would help, but that's all of it. Just work hard on ball handling, speed, and watching the court. \nWalk around with a basketball EVERYWHERE you go; just dribbling, crossing, all kinds of stuff. \nAnd, with your speed, just do Suicides, timing your runs, and do leg exercises. It only doesn't help your speed, it helps your jump. So, you won't just have to play the top, you can get down with the big guys and grab rebounds. \nWith watching the court, you just have to click with your teammates and know how their game is on the court. You have to know exactly how they come cross the court, how they like their passes made to them, and KEEP EYE CONTACT!!!!! Most important! No matter what, you have to have eye contact on your teammate so that the passes are on point. Also, to watch for players running for the ball, what I do is look my opponent DIRECTLY in the eye, if I see one of my players starting to make a cut, look at them and hit them with the assist.\nBasically, that's all the tips I can give you on that.

the only way to get a better jump shot is to shoot them constantly for hours.  Remember to snap your wrist, point your arm high into the air for a better arc, and just practice!

i was asking the same question when i noticed your on the similar questions, maybe the question should be  "how do we suggest or request a catagory to be started?"  i am an avid gun collector and love shooting and hunting. as for the answer that shooting or hunting is just sitting around, this person has obviously never been involved in any competition shoots or has never been hunting either.

Sure, but you'd have to have a HECK of a marksman to set the shot up for you at the right trajectory so you could catch it. The maximum range of every firearm is different so that's the first thing you'd need to find out. For instance, the max range of the\nM-16 A-2 rifle is 2653 meters. To pull this off, you'd need to position yourself over 2.5 kilometers away from whomever was firing the weapon. \n\nIn conclusion, is it possible? Yes\nWould it be easy? HECK no!

You have to practice shooting a lot.\n\nGet on a court by yourself and shoot from all different angles using the proper technique each time.\n\nBe serious when you shoot and bear down mentally.\n\nStrength helps, but good technique is the most important.\n\nNot everyone can be a good 3 point shooter.You either have the touch or you don't but the only way to find out for sure is to practice a lot and see if you have the ability to shoot the ball from beyond the 3 point line with accuracy.\n\nIf you are young you may not have the arm strength just yet so just keep practicing and shoot from as far as you can with accuracy for now and gradually you will be able to shoot from further back.\n\nTry lifting some LIGHT weights or do some light nautilus in a gym to help with your strength.\n\nStay light because you don't want  to get muscled bound if you play basketball.\nLong lean muscles are the best for B ball in most cases.\n\nYou won't see too many linebacker type guys who can shoot for distance.\n\nRead some good  instructional basketball books and if you know a good coach or a good player with a good long range shot ask them to watch you shoot and give you some instruction on the proper form and technique.\n\nGood luck, and it is a good feeling when you can drain those 3 pointers.
