If you are set on being part of the SF community then don't join the Marine Corps. Recon has been overrun with medal chasing officers who have no idea what they are doing...it's pretty much a dead...

Beginning with BRC class 2-12 Recon Marines will once again be pipe-lined through Dive, Jump, and SERE upon completion of BRC. You better start swimming 'cause your gonna get destroyed in the pool...

That becomes more apparent every time I read a post from this kid.

Ask your ****ing recruiter.

No age limit, if you can perform then there's no problem. In fact the older guys here are looked up too and usually get treated better due to their higher maturity level and for having more "life"...

CROSSFIT is great, but if you want to get strong you're going to need to lift as well. I usually lift 5 or 6 times a week for about 1.5 hours and follow that with a quick crossfit workout.
As far...

MSOB= Marine Special Operations Bn. I don't have much first hand knowledge of what they are like, but we have had a few guys go over there and they all love it. Also last year Marines only made up...

Yeah, why go 03 when you can spend all day washing mud from the underside of a 7 ton? Or checking the oil on HMMWVs?

I love when people run their mouths and have no idea what they are talking...

Recon is a very tight night community that does not like to divulge information on how they operate, their TTPs, SOPs, ect. to outsiders in great detail. That being said I see no problem talking...

What exactly do you think you want to do?

Also Lynn hit the nail on the head with that last post.

You honestly think you can make it to, let alone through, sniper school or BRC or any other specialized course just because that's what you feel like doing at the time or it sounds "baddass"? The...

Why would you ever go in with an open contract? They're going to stick you in a job that all the people smart enough to actually decide what they wanted to do for the next 4 years of their life...

Really? 'Cause I remember several people in my class not getting first, for whatever reason...and I would put money that a few guys in 5- didn't get it either.

I agree that simply eating healthy is the key to being healthy, but I don't consider protein shakes a fad diet or a scam. If you're trying to get bigger and build muscle, you should be eating at...

If you want a diet that feels great and supports good muscle growth, check out the Pelio aka Caveman diet. It's pretty simple, you only eat things that either have a mother, or grow (basically only...

That really depends on you. If you are planning on going to college right after high school, you can get in, and you can afford it without drowning yourself in debt, then I would go to college and...

I'm pretty sure you cannot be color blind in Recon. I remember hearing about it somewhere, and non of the guys I work with are color blind. Recon's organic mission is to observe...in detail, which...

Wrong. You need a 3rd class in boot camp, and you have to get a 2nd in BRC, although you will have the chance to get a first.

You're not miss reading, SS MOS was changed to 0317 a little while ago. I'm not sure as for the reason, but I suspect it was simply so snipers would retain an 03 MOS.

I'm not going to claim to know the specifics, but Special Operations Forces (SOF) are divided into different 'tiers' based on their training, capabilities, ect. Tier 1 is the highest and consists...

Force is a MEF asset and thus gets their funding and missions from the MEF. MSOB is a SOCOM asset, meaning that while they are still Marines, they don't actually work for the Marine Corps. The...

Based on what you said, your recruiter sounds like a piece of ****. If I were you, I would go to the office and ask him again, in person for your SS card and to see your contract. If he gives you...

Last I heard there was no drug test for spice, and even if there was I doubt MEPS would be using it. As long as your not still smoking it, you should be fine. Especially considering that it's not...

Hmm, I never realized that trying to better yourself and get an education was such a horrible thing...
