Pardon my noob questions but google fu is of help just in case. I have heard numerous time about some rifles being "operoators preferred rifle" so who would be defined as an operator ?
Are there any tactical course for such ? apart from army training ?
Thank you

Absolutely awesome clarification. Yup I would surely love to get my fundamentals right, and I have always believed its all about skills and training and not fancy tools.
Exhale, front sight, squeeze, reset, repeat. Much more than that is icing.
What are your thoughts on the whole magpul "hold the rifle with your support hand elbow pointing 90 degrees away from the ground" and their "theory based" products? I've always thought that AFG's and the sideways elbow looked stupid, and feel awkward and not natural.

From my reading, the term "operator" came about in the late '70s as a term for Delta members. I believe it was a derevitive of the word "operative" used by the CIA. It has since morphed into a more generic term.
I also agree with Sig_Fiend, the term is way overused, as are other military terms; especially on the internet.
OPSEC, AO, etc. Use of those outside of the military context just irritates me.
I have broke more than one 5 ton bridging truck!When I was in the army, operators broke the trucks and we fixed then.
