 with the force reconnaissance platoon and the maritime rate for the 31st new. I came in Marine Corps as infantry and reconnaissance was something that seemed more elite and it focused on smaller unit leadership, working with smaller teams, the recon battalions, developed highly specialized skill sets, specialized insertion, extraction capabilities, the direct action and running platoon level reconnaissance and surveillance operations. I provide BDSS direct action and specialized free fall capability, as well as theater support, my lateral training, close quarters tactics. First advice I would give is give your best not to fail yourself or the people around you, the people who depend on you and understand that there's not much recognition with this job other than the recognition of the job well done. It's going to be a lot of hard work. There's going to be failure involved in it. If you have the talent and the capability then you can be a force reconnaissance Marine but it just takes drive.
