Hi, I'm not in the military or anything. I actually tried to get into the Marines 4 years ago, but failed my hearing test at MEPS. I figured this would be the best place to post this question, so here goes. I'm just wondering, what is the difference between Navy SEALs and Marines Force Recon? I've been trying to figure this out on my own for a long time, but I figured this would be the place to find out. Thanks.

Wrong place to post. This is for Marines who have been or are currently INFANTRY. That's it. That's all.

Are there really this many people who have never heard of wikipedia or google?

Do wha Apollo said in another thread...

Whenever these kids start to bring their questions in the Infantry forum, just do not answer them.

I know, it is tempting to bash and berate them, but just let them figure it out on their own. I can guarantee you that 70% of these kids are either:
-intentional pot-stirs looking for trouble
-other members, or previous members from the past looking for kicks.

The other 30% are kids who are just lost and haven't read the stickys.

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to piss anyone off, I've never posted on this forum/message board before, and I was just wondering. I'll put this somewhere else.

it's all a big conspiracy

omfg. angst.

Wow. So if I'm not in the Corps, I guess I've been in a dream for the past 3 years, huh? Shut your mouth. Seriously.

South Carolina - where you say you reside - is outside the geographical radius, by far, to be serving in 3rd Force as a reservist.

Your bio says (which you edited sometime after yesterday afternoon)

Cpl, USMC. MOS-0321:Force Recon(8652/8653) 3rd FRC, 4th DIV[SCAMP]

I have issues with what you have placed in your bio which require me to pull this shit with you until it is resolved.

You can contact me directly at commchief [at] forcerecon.com

Not to bash the other branches, but a leatherneck's awards are TRUELY earned. And I believe that's just another factor making our Corps the most elite. I'm absolutely proud of that. Besides, awards don't make the Marine. If I spent my entire career busting my hump for awards, made the set criteria for them, and wasn't awarded them, I wouldn't care less. It's all for Duty, Honor, and Country. OOHRA

You sound legit.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

south carolina is my hometown.

There is no Thomas R. Sullivan listed on Marine Online.

There are 5 Thomas Sullivan's listed on active duty, none are a 0321.

There are 2 reserve Thomas Sullivan's listed neither is a 0321

There is only one active Officer and he is a LtCol, so that ain't you.

Now unless MCTFS is all screwed up (in that case you need to fix it) what you are saying isn't holding water.

I'll wait for DeepRecon to get to the bottom of this.

I don't need to proove myself.
I know where i stand.
And if all you have to do with your day is bash a fellow Marine on an internet blogging site, you should seriously think about reorganizing your agenda. Get a life.

Whoa! Hold up there slick. I was pointing out what the records say. If they are incorrect then you need to fix it. I am giving you the Benefit of a doubt.

Like I said all you need to do to clear this up is get up with DeepRecon. We get a lot of posers through these parts and we are pretty good at policing our own.

I think you'll see from the e-mail I just sent you it was in no way disrespectfull. I would thank you to remain the same, but if you can't............... DON'T MISTAKE MY KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS! Comprendo?
