Step 3: Movement

to move silently, you need shoes. Boots are too big, but they keep your feet dry. I'd wear these in muddy conditions, and if i was going to wait a while to take a shot. For shoes, you can't wear white or other bright colors. I have devised a solution to this. Take a strip of material off an old camo jacket and wrap it around the sides of the shoe, kind of like a moccasin. take hot glue and seal it at the end, and put a stitch across the bottom from side to side. don't glue the material to your shoes, unless they are an old pair, and don't put material on the bottom or else you wouldn't be able to take it off. to take it off, just take off your shoe and slide the material off. please note this is only a temporary fix. anyway, you need shoes to be quiet. to walk, step down on your heel and roll the side of your foot down. move slowly always. don't move fast unless you are being chased by the enemy. when you walk, don't put your gun in the shooting position-it restricts your field of vision to whats in the sight. point the gun down at an angle, and constantly look around and listen. don't talk to your teammates, and tell them to be quiet too. you need to listen for gunfire, talking and movement. This is the best way to locate the enemy position. if you crawl, you should be near the enemy. dont crawl unless you are close, and when you do crawl, you must go SLOW. an inch in 5 seconds. it should take 5 minutes to move 100 yards. also crawl with your gun underneath your stomach so the enemy cant identify you by your gun. when they look at you, dont move. when they turn their back, pull out your gun and shoot.

if you move an inch in 5 seconds it would take you five hours to move a hundred yards(i think i did my math right)
