this information comes from speaking with both sides, talking to MARSOC recruiters and team members and former(FORMER) Recon who went out for the assessment and selection at MARSOC. keep in mind Recon and MARSOC are two different military occupational specialties within the marine corps.
@pah1226 im sorry bro but force recon does not exist anymore,, maybe recon exists and it is inside the marsoc are i think not sure.. but i am sure that FORCE recon doesnt exist anymore
ok for all you jack asses that think MARSOC and are the same are completely wrong. Bloodstained sinner for the most part is right. Force recon is not recognized under SOCOM, yes they used to conduct the same kinds of missions but since implementation of MARSOC it has been them who have been carrying out those missions. make sure you know your shit and do some research before you start calling people out. Semper Fi
@USMCsemperfitillidie im preety sure navy seals is harder to get into then marsoc, army rangers has lots of people ofc not easy to get into but its not hard... id say navy is hardest then delta then marsoc then berets
@TonyInTopeka your more of an idiot than the guy then cause force recon doesnt exist anymore.... and its been for years so stfu.... marsoc exists but force recon does not exist anymore
@TonyInTopeka nope i havent but all my brothers have (3)... and 1 of them is in the navy and tried out for buds. one of them is in marines and other is a army ranger. so i kinda now lots of things about army. i bet your not even in the army either... and btw im only not in the army because im not of age yet... i will soon join.
@eroepps: you dont just join the Marines then join MARSOC.. its nothing like that.. youd have a better chance being a ranger.. MARSOC isnt common.. its selective.. its not like your highschool football team where you go and tryout.. my uncle was in MARSOC.. IED got him in 09 in iraq- R.I.P Uncle Marty- Semper Fi
marsoc marines/ recon mariens have the least amount of credit for doing anything ive never seen on the news anything about marine special operations and they deserve some credit
First of all, MARSOC isn't even fully operational yet- almost, but no. That being said, the best of the best, I think not. SEALS and Green Berets have far more special operations capability and experience simply due to their years of being fully operational.
Also, people get way too into the "my horse is bigger than yours" type of argument between the branches. We all fight for the same great country and I've seen serious bad-assery from every branch.
@davisevan11 MSOC is definitely fully operational. And yes, 50 years of SF experience do over shadow the 5 MSOC has had. But give it time. I too hate the arguments and agree that the branches all work towards the same objective. Its apple and oranges. But as a CSO, I think you would be surprised how effective we are.
@mranalog no doubt. I was mostly trying to silence the "biggest dick," competition. I'm actually a corpsman contract trying to eventually contract for MARSOC so, I definitely don't doubt their capabilities.
What strikes me as odd is that you seem to like the american military which is multiracial and at the same time support white supremacy.
As far as I know special forces groups that take on the job of foreign army training are usually interested in making team of Americans with origins from the countries that they want to target.
@dawp25 Two different forces. While both are comprised of marines, Force Recon is an asset used by the USMC. MARSOC chain-of-command puts it under SOCOM (with the added bonus of access to SOCOM funding!)
@TheCrazyItalian14 Yeah. They'll pay for your lasik, but you'll probably have to wait a bit depending on your MOS. They have a priority list on who can go when or someshit like that.
My LOVE is in MARSOC and he is currently in Afghanistan…I am so proud of him…and I love him very much and miss him…I know he was trained well…..and soon I will have him in my arms again…. “Semper Fi”
there are little or none new photos or info about this guys!
i was thinking about joining the marines and go through all the process to MarSOC because i cant go to SEALs due a bad vision problem (20/400) and i dont have the $ to pay the surgery...
@KwstasHel im soooooo on for Special Operations!! Ive been asking in every branch of the military...ALL of them... to all the recruiters!!... and the ones that i like the most are MarSOC and SEALs (this doesnt mean i think the others are lame or worst)... They both do kinda same missions...
I know that if i join any of those branches and make a way up to SO, i would love it... its my dream to be part of the military of US and be one of the finest in the world against the enemy or terrorism...
@MikeSaucy Yep. Contract recon is extremely fucking rare though and doesn't mean you'll be a recon Marine. It just promises to afford you the opportunity after SOI. If you fail their selection process you'll get another 0300 MOS, probs 0311. I also know that contract recon does SOI in San Diego, not sure why though. 0352 is the same way. Probably slightly different training to help with your MOS, fuck if I know though.
@theloosecannoncls Actually, no. Force Reconnaissance is not MARSOC. MARSOC is the Marine's contribution to SOCOM. Force Recon contributes to everything BUT SOCOM.
@HopefulxFrogman yeah, they USED to do that... but since 5-7 years they dont! And why? Because many people signed up just to get the surgery and then they got dropped out from selection or BUDs easily, they just were abusing the system... And now, you have to be in the fleet for a couple of years to get it paid by the Navy, or pay it your-self if you dont want to wait that long... So no, if you get a SEAL contract you wont get the surgery prior BUDs, believe me I have very good sources =)
@eroepps Nope your wrong because it even says on the official U.S. Navy SEAL website that SEAL candidates can qualify for PRK Refractive surgery and once you get your SEAL contract your considered a SEAL candidate. Plus I know a guy who was a former Recon Marine and he said that Naval Special Warfare candidates and Navy Diver candidates can get the eye surgery for free.
@HopefulxFrogman again... yeah, you get the eye surgery free when you finish the SEAL O course, not before, as you can get the surgery for free when youre in any branch of the military, sooner or later... But NO, you wont receive the eye surgery prior getting to BUDS, even if youre a SEAL candidate. That just doesnt work that way. I could be a SEAL candidate, i can pass the SEAL PST like nothing, but i still have 20/400 so im DISQUALIFIED, but hey, im a SEAL candidate...
@eroepps Boys i had the same problem with the eye surgery! before two months i was in the Greek Army in the Special Forces ine the 575 Marines Battalion in Greece the marines are department of the Army! instead of the Navy.. So i hava 5 Miopia and in the marines want under 5 so they want to sent me to the infantry! so i left the army and i get the surgery the other week and i will join the special forces Ranger or Marines at August! Both the greek marines and Rangers has the Green Beret!
@joshykelley in the official website of MarSOC doesnt say anything about that... Besides, my plan was to do the pipeline for MarSOC from BRC, then spend some years with those guys and then try for MarSOC CSO billet, by that time I would've got the surgery for sure... But at the end, im joining the Army to make my way to SF...
@eroepps once you turn 21 you can get the surgery for free, just remember that the real thing is allot harder than a video game, but if you still want to do it then go for it!
@195WTF I know sir, Im on my way to make it for real... I was very interested on MarSOC but I finally signed with the Army to become a 68w with the rangers hehe,
to go marsoc you have to have at least one deployment. and what ever you do don't get a basic job if you want to go marsoc go recon or infantry. good luck
@eroepps I hate to break it to you. You might be able to join the Marines, yet getting into MARSOC through whichever way it takes in the USMC will most likely require you to have 20/20 vision.
@eroepps the navy can pay for your LASIK surgery and also for your college. You have to serve first if you want to do that in the Marines and you will start off in a low rank if you don't have a college degree.
@Mcgigglepies14 No your wrong. Each branch has it own requirements.You dont have to have 20/20 to sign up for Special Forcesl or Marines Marsoc.. But you do have to have it to be a Navy SEAL.
@toneydockens Well that isnt what my brother (who is in force recon) said.....I could be wrong tho cause he does have that whole "I'm amazing and know everything because I'm a Marine" attitude so who knows.
@Mcgigglepies14 No your wrong. Each branch has it own requirements.You dont have to have 20/20 to sign up for Special Forces or Marines Marsoc.. But you do have to have it to be a Navy SEAL.
@eroepps MARSOC and SEAL requirements are basically the same so if you have trouble trying to become a SEAL then its safe to say there might be problems becoming MARSOC, due to them being Marine Tier One operators. If you can get glasses to adjust your eyes to 20/25, then they might give you a chance but I cant be totally sure. Not trying to bring you down or anything, sorry dude.
