Force Recon

[Phoenix Rogue]

After searching and searching, I can't specifically figure out what Force Recon is all about, beside that they are really good at what they do. Furthermore, are they an active group or "were" they a team in the past. Im going to keep searching but, I thought maybe some other Poolees and soon to be's would interested as well. Like I said Im gonna keep searching, Im sure somewhere in this wealth of knowledge Ill find an aswer.

I'm almost positive I've seen this link on this site somewhere, but I'm feeling generous today and I'm not gonna make you look for it, so here you go:

Yeah, there's references and links to resources, but not a lot posted that's easy to just go look at! LOL

Phoenix Rogue,
Try Google.com. Also, if you can link up to the 2nd Marine Division (The only one that I know but there are others.) There should be a Recon. link up. My son was slated for Recon Indoc. but it was determined, because he is a squad leader,that he was needed where his was....and then came Kuwait. Everything that should have, or could have, taken place was put on hold. S- happens but the general info. is out there if you look for it. Good luck.

More about the training is posted elsewhere on leatherneck.com

[Phoenix Rogue]

Wow, I knew this place was a tresure trove of knowledge. Thanx Every one. It's going to take some time time to look through all those links WRbones. But I'll come out well informed

[wrbones]

I got that off the web. You haven't started readin stuff in the POOL-ee Hall or Mentor forums have ya?

You'll be busy fer the next 2 months readin in yer spare time.


(Google search: USMC Force Recon: is what found that stuff I posted on this thread.)

[Phoenix Rogue]

I had actually seen the first link before. Didn't show up right though, I thought it was a bad site. Must have caught it at a bad time.

And thanks to recent past experiences i've been on this site reading EVERYDAY. Around this time and later on in the evening. Still have long ways to go. Not to mention all the new stuff that's always pouring in. Pretty sure i've got most of the poolee forum done moving on to Marine mentor. Learn more and more every time i sit down. :)

[assault69]

how long do you have to be in the marine force to be applicable to be in the Force Recon?

[wrbones]

assault69. I dare you to read the POOL-ee and Mentor forums.

[ktriplett]

assault69 - you may not be aware of it, but there is this little thing called work. I know, I know it’s a four letter word and momma told you not to swear, but trust me it’ll help you out in the long run. wrbones, drifter and the rest of the guys, including some of the poolees have posted some really, really good information on the Poolee and Mentor forums. If you do a little bit of <gasp> WORK and read the posts in those forums, you’ll find most of, if not all, the information you could possibly need. Now get to it, and don’t let me catch you standin’ around looking for freebies.

Hey Kalbo was Cunningham still out there in force when you were there?

[03Infantry]

Force Recon is what I'm shooting for...........After I earn my title.....right now I'm a whole lotta nothing/trash

[wrbones]

03, ya need to concentrate on yer guidebook fer Marines and yer PT, bud! Then read everything in the POOL-ee Hall and Marine Mentor forums!

They're screening folks better than they used to, so the fall-out rate in recruit training ain't what it was, but still...it ain't a skate! ;)

[Sgt Sostand]

beware what you wish for 03Infantry

[03Infantry]

yes sir. I have been memorizing everything it tells you to read in the white booklet they give you and Pting with the Marines. I still am nothing until I go to bootcamp

[03Infantry]

I don't want it to be a skate. If it was an easy thing all the wimps at my school would join the Marines. I want it to be hard. That is what Marines are known for. 2Months and counting...........
