I saw this photo in a previous post a couple years old. It claimed to be a photo of a Coast Guard MSRT and a Navy Seal in Afghanistan. Is this legit? Where the Coast Guards DSF really involved in the GWOT? Anyone have experience with them if so?
Hello, I’ve often heard that former Marines tend to have higher pass rates at Special Forces Assessment and Selection and Ranger School. Some people have suggested that it might be better to enlist in the United States Marine Corps first, serve as an infantry Marine, and then transition into the United States Army with an 18X contract. The reasoning I’ve heard is that Marine grunt life training and culture may build more discipline and toughness compared to Army grunt life, potentially leading to better preparation for selection courses. Is there any truth to this, or is it more of a myth? Anyone have personal experience with this?
