A sniper or a hornet pilot. Hehe you choice two of the hardest positions to get into. Most the Hornets are grounded since they have a habit of cutting the brake wire and causing the brakes to cut out. A pilot nearly died the other day from it. Generally requires a degree to get into training and a lot of luck. It takes a number of years active service before you can qualify to even test out for the sniper school, and the chance of passing it is very hard with a 50% failure rate. You probrobly be sent to do a few tours of duty in Iraq first in the infantry. Thats the way things usually go right now.

As for a rifle .22LR rifles are the way to go for learning to shoot. You won't get a bad flinch and you can learn the basics. Later on you could even get an AR and get some practice with what you are going to be shooting most likely. I generally would start off with a bolt action to kill the spray and pray mentality and learn accuracy.

Do a search on the net for gunranges and you should find quite a few around. Luckly you are not in this monsterous part of North Carolina were every gunrange thats decent seems to be 2 hours drive away.
