“OK. And Ranger school is not as tough as SEAL or Marine Recon school. But that was never the point.”
SEAL’s add more water, so it is up to interpretation which is tougher. Ranger school gets people from all of the branches and Marines that have gone through the course say it is MUCH more difficult than Recon school. That is 2nd hand info...maybe someone here has first hand experience. Rangers and SEALS are spec ops; Marines are not.
Well that would come as a surprise to my nephew who graduated MARSOC 8 years ago and who has been almost constantly deployed as an operator ever since. We don’t get to see him much any more but I did just chat with him at a family gathering and he tells me he is on the Colonel list.
