Usmc Army Recon
Military "Special Forces"?
Do all of the Military "prestigious and elite" (Rangers,Special Forces, USMC Force Recon etc) have to go to Jump School and jump on a regular basis?
I want to be in a "SF" type force but dont really want to a) Jump from planes a ton and b) End up on a Naval Ship......
I am trying to figure out which is the best for me and am looking at:
US Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, Army Delta Force, Army SF, USMC Force Recon etc. I want to be in combat with the best of the best. Are there any other ones I am missing? Whhich one is the best for me?
Listen man, your trying to have your cake and ice cream but not do all the work required for it. All the above Special Operation units (not SF, that's only in the US Army) are on are jump status (it is a method of employment to a combat zone, nothing else) and do jump frequently to maintain their jump status and proficiency.
There is no 'best'. They all perform unique and specializied missions in support of our Government and protect our nation. Their training is to the highest caliber, so are the selection processes.
Do some research to know what your talking before you post so you don't sound so foolish or lost. Also as a combat vet, don't wish for the horrors of war and we know nothing of you, so it is impoosible to what is the best for you.
You have to make THAT decision. Research young man.

Joint Airborne Jump By USMC 1st Force Recon & Army 82nd
USMC? Navy SEAL?
I've asked a few questions on this topic, but I'm sounding like a broken record. I'm 21 finishing last yr of college and going military as an Enlisted man. I'm a very motivated person which comes from the inside and I also got the smarts. Physically I have been working out for the past 4 yrs just for this 6 X's a week. Army is out of the ?, USMC blew me away with what they were all about, so I have been leaning towards them. But the thing is I can't settle for anything but the best therefore I want to do Recon. But lately the Navy has all been calling and telling me they would offer a SEAL contract. What would you do? The NAVY tells me I should do theres because the training is that much better/longer. But the way I see it is whether or not Recon school is shorter, I am very much attracted to the USMC and the thought of if I somehow would fail BUD/s I couldn't see myself on a NAVY ship. I need a gun in hand and doing work on the ground. What would you do/recommend?
Thanks
you can be in the Marines and still go be a SEAL. I'd definitly go the Marine route as I was a regular grunt, and for the grunts that wanted to be even more hard core, the was always force recon (I'm told it's harder than being a SEAL), snipers, etc. I know of a few guys that went into the Navy and didn't pass something along the way of becoming a SEAL, so they basically got dropped and put on a boat doing a menial task somewhere. You said it yourself in your description. At least in the Marines, you'd still be a grunt and able to shoot and blow stuff up. If you have any USMC questions, feel free to email me. I was a grunt and was a squad leader in Iraq.
Wow, a lot of people are saying things like Army and Air Force. Apparently they didn't read your description. Someone in the Chair Force carrying a gun? Doubtful. Even if they did have one, they wouldn't know how to use it. Some people have suggested going in as an officer, and I can't really argue that. It would probably be a better idea to do so, but once again, the officers really don't get to do all the shooting and blowing stuff up, they have other people do it for them. Many officers are pretty clueless, and most NCOs and SNCOs have 10 times as much leadership ability as an officer.
Other people keep answering with the Marines constantly being stationed on a boat. I did two deployments while I was an active duty grunt, and I was on a boat for a total of 6 weeks. They do NOT keep you on a boat for your whole tour, or even for that long. Trust me, I was there.
Note: I revised my answer from most to many officers above. There were many that were indeed outstanding leaders and were great at their job. However, there were also many that would routinely come up to me and other squad leaders with a lost look on their face, map and compass in hand and ask "Sgt, do you know where we are?"
