Rangers vs. Recon

Post by Beaushadow »

Hey guys, right now Iam 17 a Jr. in high school. I am a wrestler and I am in MCROTC at Seneca High school in Louisville, KY. My whole life I have dreamed of being in Spec-Ops. I was planing on doing the 18x contract but recently they changed the enlistment age from 18-20, man I was upset. So I have looked at 11x Option 40, and that seems like a great plan too. But of course everyone in my ROTC programe says go Marine Force Recon. I know both are great units, but my ultimite goal is CAG. And I know that they rect. from Seals, Rangers, SF, Recon, ect, but mostly from SF and Rangers. My Sgt. Maj also says the the Army compared to the Marines arnt as elite, dicsiplined, and that the Army doesn't have as much pride as the Marines do. I was just wondering if anyone could help me out on this.

Thanks, Beau Gadegaard

So...many....things.....to...say....must....not....kill......baby, wannabe jarhead......fuck......this is going to be tough......

Look kid, you just came on to an Army Ranger website and straight up tell us that, in your Sergeant Majors opinion, we're a non-elite, undisciplined mob. Let me tell you something. Fuck you and fuck your Sergeant Major. If you want to truly be elite and not not some bullet sponge, cannon fodder, become a Ranger. We have much respect fro the Corps, but you're not a Marine and in no way are entitled to that respect. So here's the deal. Become what you want to be. SEAL, CAG, Group, Ranger, Force Recon, whatever. I don't give a fuck. But you need to read the FAQ's, do alot of reading, lose the attitude and stop fucking posting until you have something intelligent to say.

You should probably join an airsoft team to get a feel for what it's like.

After that, there are a number of openings for the elite underwater messkit repair unit.
C Co 3/75 88-90 (Just Cause)
124 MI(LRSD) 90-91 (Desert Storm)

Repeal the 16th, enforce the 10th.

What I'm wondering is why you would come to a Ranger site and ask who's better? I would expect a Marine Force Recon site/forum (if there is one) would say that they're better than us. We are the fuckin elite without a doubt! I can tell you that I just so happened to go to Ranger School with 2 guys from Force Recon one guy made it the other QUIT during City Week, is that to say that Force Recon soldiers ain't about shit...........No! But plenty of people want to be a Ranger, very few have the character to do so.

There are good soldiers in every SOCOM unit in our Armed Forces, but to say we're second class to the Marines or somehow lessor than them and come into our house as if it might be true is total bullshit. Do some fuckin research on Rangers, our motto of Rangers Lead the Way was EARNED BY OUR EXAMPLE AND DEMONSTRATION OF GOING FURTHER AND FIGHTING HARDER THAN ANY OTHER SOLDIER!!!

That's not a bullshit, that's the truth!!!
