Also Keep in mind that Marine Corps Infantry is Forward Deployed.  You can easily travel to at least 8 countries in a 4yr enlistment for Bi/Multi-Lateral training, Libo, and for actual ops.

 

I've traveled to 12 and I never even did a MEU Float, I know guys who have traveled to over 20 in their 1st 4yrs. 

 

MEU Floats: There's WestPac's that hit almost everything inbtwn Cali and the Persian Gulf, MedFloat that hit almost everything in the Mediterreanean Sea, and the 31st MEU out of Okinawa, JP.  For that just draw a circle around the Asian Pacific.

 

So these are all things you can do if you don't make the prized Force Recon.

I bet they've had more Women then the other units, and there sun glasses are so much cooler.

Ya'll been dukin this one out for awhile now.  Dam.  I asked this question way back when I first seriously started thinking about enlisting.  Time has passed, and I have made my decision.  However my decision was not presuaded by "who was better"  as I used to try to figure out, and I used to care.  Now I just want to serve.  What will become of me?  I work hard, I take care of myself, always pushing myself, and always learning, with my high goals, and high standards for myself I know I will be fine.  "Who is better" ha, were all americans, both on the same side, as far as  Iam concered, we all are.  Fuck.  Dont ya'll get sick of arguing such a mute point?  Neither side is going to make any ground, nor has it.  Since I asked this question I have to my senses and I thought most ya'll did too, dam.  

Whatsup Colt? None of us are arguing at all really, most of it is joking and teasing. Most of us are far beyond the "who is better argument", so we typically poke fun at it.

FAST CO Fleet Anti-Terrorism Suppression Team:
Similar to a very High Speed SWAT. Experts in CQB, they are deployable
World Wide to any Terrorist threat in less than 6hrs. FAST can only be
requested by Theater Comms thru Chief of Naval Ops or the Commandant.

Ah FAST, the SEAL's have a rather derogatory name for them...

If these guys were very high speed SWAT, wouldn't they they be in SOCOM or under a similar command structure (like MARSOC, etc)? Sorry, but this reminds me of the Master of Arms who claim to be super high speed protection specialists, etc.

We would all love to hear the deragatory name (at least I would)

SCCO, I thought FAST was strictly security. I do know that they have some CQB training, but I didn't realise they were world class. What else are they used for?
