Article: It seems common sense, but unfortunately sometimes people will rush to eat foods before the stomach is ready. If you are actively vomiting, wait to eat solid foods until you can consume them without throwing up. Instead, drink clear liquids or electrolyte beverages to help keep you from becoming dehydrated. Eat solid foods only after you haven't vomited for about six hours. The body is sometimes wiser than the head. Also, if you feel nauseated just thinking about a certain food, chances are good you will not keep it down. There is a mental element to how your body processes nausea, and it is very difficult to overcome. If your stomach churns at the thought of eating a banana, but seems fine with a small bowl of rice, eat the rice. Certain foods, including dairy, can exacerbate nausea and vomiting. Eating foods that are easy to digest may help you keep them down and alleviate vomiting. Once you're able, try solid foods on the BRAT diet and other simple options such as boiled potatoes and clear soups. You can add more complex foods as you feel better. While you are eating a simple, bland diet, eat small meals throughout the day and make sure that you chew your food slowly and thoroughly. This may help minimize nausea and help you keep food down. Start out with a piece of toast or a banana. Add other simple foods as you are able. For example, if you are able to keep a piece a toast down and are still hungry, have a banana a half an hour or an hour later. Chewing your food thoroughly will help keep your stomach from having to do extra work digesting. Taking small bites will help you chew more thoroughly. This method will also help you see if you are able to tolerate food more easily than if you overwhelm your stomach by overloading it. Just as it's important to take small bites, it's also helpful to take small sips of liquid. This may help not overwhelm your stomach and cause further nausea. Sip 4-8oz. of clear liquid every hour and only 1-2 ounces at a time. This will help keep you hydrated without increasing your risk for further vomiting or hyponatremia, which is having too little sodium in your body. If you can't tolerate sips of liquid, try sucking on ice chips until you can safely consume 1-2oz. of liquid at a time.

Article: Ordinarily, to become a Marine sniper you must reach at least the rank of Lance Corporal (E-3), and be no higher than the rank of Sergeant (E-5). Certain Ground Intelligence Officer (Military Occupational Specialty 0203) members of the Infantry (MOS 03XX), senior non-commissioned officers (SCNCOs), and international students can sometimes be permitted to undergo sniper training. A lance corporal is the third enlisted rank in the Marines, equivalent to a Private First Class in the U.S. Army. You may receive promotion to Lance Corporal after one or more years of service. Applicants at the rank of Sergeant and above must have a temporary duty (TD) fitness report. Your Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) should be Infantry if you want to become a sniper. Successfully completing the tasks of a sniper, such as target identification and long-distance firing, requires you to have very good vision. To be eligible for training as a Marine sniper, you must have 20/20 vision or vision that is correctable to 20/20. The missions which snipers complete can be physically grueling, and so snipers are required to be in excellent health, with no recurring illnesses or health problems. A fitness test and health clearance will be required before you can begin training. To be eligible to be trained as a Marine sniper, you must score at least 100 on the General Technical (GT) section of the ASVAB, which evaluates your knowledge and potential in fields such as mathematical reasoning and mechanical comprehension. The Department of Defense issues personal security clearances at the Top Secret, Secret, and Confidential levels. Since Marine snipers are often involved in highly specialized missions, you must have reached Secret clearance before you can begin sniper training. To receive secret clearance, you must be a U.S. citizen or naturalized citizen, work in a position that the Department of Defense determines necessitates this clearance, and undergo a background investigation. Your security clearance may also need to be periodically renewed. Excellent marksmanship is an essential skill of any sniper, and so the Marines must qualify you beforehand at the "expert" level of rifle usage. Marine snipers are a select, elite group entrusted with highly specialized missions. Superior conduct is expected from those hoping to begin sniper training. The training provided to Marine snipers is extensive and takes significant time to complete. The Marines want to ensure that the investment of time and effort to train snipers is worth it, so you will need to make a long-term commitment to the service. Marine sniper training and service requires great focus. If there are family or financial problems that can distract you, it may be difficult to complete the tasks required. Certain qualifications are not necessarily required to begin sniper training, but having them may increase your chances of being selected for the program. These include: Completion of Marines Corps Institute (MCI) or distance learning in the following areas: Land Navigation, Infantry Patrolling, Basic Forward Observer Procedures, and Reconnaissance Attendance at Sniper platoon training Completion of an infantry training cycle or deployment Swimming certification at class 2 or higher
