    Let me add one more thing. I though of this after reading your desire to prove that you are the best. I spent time as a journalist with a SMOT in western Afghanistan. What those CSO Marines are most...

    You need to understand that you must get into the Marine Corps, excel as a Marine, establish a strong track record, and then focus on getting into FR and/or MARSOC. As the CO of II FR told me,...

    I interviewed The II MEF FR CO for an article I wrote for Leatherneck so I understand any MOSs can try-out but the vast majority come from Battalion Recon, and then nearly all the others from grunt...

    They certainly are different, but DR, like FR, primary mission is recon. The experience and skills level are higher for FR (one has to be at least a corporal, and there are only a few of them) and...

    Yes I think the Corps was simpler then, and the world. That's probably because we were Y,D, and FS. When you are then you just don't see all the complexities.

    Right, there are a lot of different conceptions of recon, especially Force. The article will clear up some of the confusion. For instance, FR is only attached to DR administratively, operationally...

    True, MARSOC is actually open to all MOSs. No, MARSOC is not easy, in fact they are trying to lower the wash-out rate. They started ASPOC to identify some of the problems in A&S that is leading to...

    I believe the article will be in the August Leatherneck issue, which will come out at the end of July. These so-called "support" Marines are interesting, with a mission that is certainly challenging....

    You can take your time on Recon. This is not a race. In both FR and MARSOC, lots of skills are needed, especially the latter. First, for both, you need some maturity and experience. Some goals...

    Glad to help. As for the reenlistment hurdle, I assume it's going to get higher in a few years so getting over it now is better than latter.

    So you want the Support Group, MSOSG. That is different than a MSOB. I have no idea if they need bodies, since they can draw off of a larger pool. As for when deployed, they're right there with the...
