A few months ago, there was a recruiter who posted on this site regularly. According to him, the Army was actual overstrength, and wasn't accepting GEDs at the time - you had to possess at least a high school diploma. That may or may not have changed since then - you'll have to talk to a recruiter to find out. If they're accepting recruits with GEDs again, you'll have as much opportunity to become a sniper as someone with a diploma. However, you don't enlist as a sniper - you'd enlist as... typically an infantryman or cavalry scout... and then you have to prove to your chain of command that it's worth it for them to send you to the sniper course. There's more to it than just being a good shot.
Yes, you sure can. My ex husband did!

Not necessarily. If you wish to become a military sniper, you'll have to be in the military already, of course. If you want to be a sniper in something outside the military, such as law enforcement or some backwoods militia, then no.
while in the army, Sniper == ==
Snipers are not officers. They are drawn from the enlisted ranks, culled from the best marksmen. It is possible for a sniper to become an officer, but they would no longer be sent out as a sniper.
The minimum military education requirements are a GED. However, they do have a GED Plus program where you can join without a GED, and they provide the testing, before you go into basic training.

Join the army :/
you go to cadets training until you reach sniper badge and then you will be successful enough to fight in war as a sniper man. Enlist in the Army, choose infantry as your MOS. Go to basic training, AIT, qualify as an expert on the rifle range and then you can apply to sniper school. Get accepted to sniper school, successfully pass the school and then you may be entitled to a sniper slot. Not everyone who goes to sniper school will function as a sniper in their unit.
US Army Sniper School is five weeks long at Ft. Benning, Georgia.
