In 1964 it was tough as hell to get into Force Recon. When I was stationed at Camp Geiger there was a Recon group there. One day I kept at a distance and watched 15 Recon wannabes try out. The got their asses kicked for 5 hours...doing push-ups, pull-ups, running, crawling through sand spurs, and finally buried up to their necks in a coal pit where they roasted in the hot sun for an hour. At the end there were 2 left. The 13 washed out and went back to their outfits.
my recruiters lied to me, they told me it was impossible to enlist into recon and reserves because of training costs and only using that training 1 weekend a month. wtf.
@nazizombiesFTW1 ...continued (Marines Awaiting Recon Training). And they take you from there. If you watch "Surviving the Cut" the Marine Recon version, a friend who dropped out of the training for medical reasons said that they watered-down that show to make it appropriate for civilian viewing. After finishing it, then and only then will you learn if you will be a Force Recon (the cool ones that are called "Jedi Masters") or if you will be regular recon. Good luck, you'll need it.
The U.S. Marine Corps General in this video never graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy. All I.S. Marine Corps officers are required to. Or be an authorized Aviation Cadet.
I am NOT anti-Army. My single U.S. Army soldier who defended me, is at the VA. The police cut off his legs above the knees with a wire saw. The Benton, Arkansas Police.
He was my Battalion Commander 1st Bn 2nd Mar 1992. We used to call him "Bionic man," General Hejlik. Outstanding marine and friend. Semper Fi SSgt Gamba
@nazizombiesFTW1 Its hard shit and you probably won't make it. First,you''l have to get over Boot Camp, nothing, you need to survive Infantry Training Battalion, which is hard itself. You'll need to be able to swim, for long long amounts of time with weight, underwater and above water. You better be able to exercise all day, all day. Ruck runs, long days, and hazing. Then, then you can start training, and I am being serious, no lie. All of that is in what is called MART... One more comment.
Everyone of you in the video are/is out of uniform. Read the regulation. Nothing you do will ever earn a sword that way. Only "my" Corporals and below get swords.
WTF... how is a female assigned to 4th Reconnaissance Bn?????????????????????? Where are all of the airborne/scuba badges on the uniforms? These can't be 0321s... smh!
She was probably an admin or some pog job. A lot of 0321s don't have a diver badge or jump wings. These were probably mostly support Marines (motor T, admin, etc.)

You shouldn't be able to go directly into recon----it should take a couple of years to get into that field.
