[@markohmstead5855]

Navy SEALS get all the credit but I would say recon Marines are just as trained and mentally tough - just not as well known and glorified.

[@ek7404]

The only reason why they get more missions than Recon is because of SOCOM money and branch politics. If anything I’d wager that the average Recon Marine is “better” in a gunfight than your average SEAL due to the fact that they’re infantrymen first.

[@wesleybarton6922]

Marine recon OPS are trained to multi task, especially medics. Air Force para-rescue are no slouches either. The U.S. is fortunate to have all these groups of Special OPs, so i don't waste time guessing which are the best.

[@anthonyhallsten6578]

Wesley Barton there are no Marine medics, even in Recon. They still use Navy Corpsmen. They just call them SARC’s when they are used with Recon or MARSOC.

[@deejay1534]

@@ek7404 They're all just as elite as each other, but no doubt Marine Recon have potential to be better individual gunfighters considering the infantry background of every Marine, whereas in the Navy you have guys who may not have trained as such due to their MOS prior to BUD/S. Also take into account the history of each unit, in Vietnam the Recon Marines were selected more often for MACVSOG due to their specialty in conducting deep recon and direct action, wheras the early SEALs were trained primarily in uncoventional warfare and direct action.

Necromante Errante 5 weeks of BRPC 13 weeks of BRC more like 4 1/2 months plus MART but that varies for everyone.

[@Dandan-vf9kr]

12 weeks is regular boot camp to become a Marine. Also it takes 5 months because they want to weed out the weak. If you can survive 5 months of training then you will be able to perform at a high standard

[@tonyguar]

Pipeline is you volunteer to Indoc test in, BRC 3 months, SERE 2.5 weeks, jump school 1 month (maybe 3 weeks), then Force has dive schools. Then after that you either go to the rear and work up and or to the 6 month R&S MEUSOC workup. (95-00 data)

Wrong, Colin. Completely wrong.

[@zethusmc]

Actually your wrong, both Recon and Force Recon have the same MOS 0321. The schools are dictated by what the platoon sgt. needs when the platoon is stood up. Force Recon is usually comprised of second term reconndos while the teams in battlion are usually comprised of first enlisters, aside from the platoon sgt. platoon Commander. TL's, and ATL's. Force Recon also works Directly for the Marine Expeditionary Force.
