"There is nothing stronger, than a Army Soldier!"

...isn't that false advertising by the Army? :)

because they need to recruit more people than the Marine Corps and are constantly finding new ways to up their recruiting goals.

I actually like the US Army commercials they look real cool

lol as a matter of fact, once my obligation is up and I finish college, I'm considering a career as a US Army Ranger Officer

just considering for now though

Why would you want to take the step down from being one of the finest, most highly trained, highly effective pieces of killing aparati on the planet, to be an Army Ranger, and an Officer none the less.... Square yourself away Marine, move forward with your career in the MARINE CORPS! If you want Special Ops, go to the indoc and work toward getting into Recon, but don't give up the Corps for the Army, you will hate it!

Yeah, I mean come on. I can assure you, the army treats it's troopies like hammered crap. I work on an army base as a civilian, and they are some of the dumbest, micro-managed, slovenly pieces of debris you'll ever have the sorry misfortune to run across. There are very dang few of them I'd trust to lead a patrol out of the head with a mag-lite and a map...

And ain't none of em officers.

You'll have more authority as a Squad Leader Corporal in the Corps than you will as an E-8 in the army.

None of them Officers? Are you talking about Rangers? I know quite a few Officers that are Rangers, but still not Marines right? As far as your options, if I were in your shoes, the only one that is really a good one is #1. (#2 should be something in the Corps, and #3 should also be something in the Corps.) I sure as HE** wouldnt leave the Corps for the Army. If you want to be an Officer and you want SpecOps type of duty, become an Officer in the Corps and take the Recon Indoc.

Sorry, need to clarify a bit, I was asking SGT if he was saying that there are no Army Rangers that are Officers.

I'd rather have the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor than a tab. The EGA represents 230 years of history of the greatest fighting organization in the world, you can't even compare a Ranger Tab which has only been around for 60 years!
