Nesto, before you ask a question like this be sure you do a thorough search on the subject matter. If you do a search in the forums you should be able to find the answer to your question---or at least part of it.

Different branches of the military can't be compared, Period. All the elite units have difficult training.

Nesto, the Navy SEALs and the Marines can't be compared easily because they have an equally hard training course, even though they have different areas to specialize in. Do some research before asking those types of questions.

I'm not a Navy SEAL, but I've read many books about SEAL/Ranger/Marine Force Recon etc They are all Elite, all are very hard programs, mentally and physically. SEAL training however lasts about a year. Ranger training lasts 62 days and I forget the Marine Recon number. SEAL training is reguarded as the toughest military training known to man. My dad was an Army Airborne Ranger and said that he worked with a few SEALs, said they were crazy SOB's and only 5 of them were in his Airborne School Class.. Plus you have to realize that the SEAL program has a 70% dropout rate and only has 4 classes in one year. Ranger/Marine Recon have twice as many if not more classes than that and more graduates. I recommend the book, "You want me to do what?" by Jeff Kraus and "Suffer in Silence" by David Reid.

First off I am not a Navy Seal, nor was I a Recon or Force Recon Marine. I did however serve 6yrs in the Marines and may be able to shed a bit of light on this subject. Ranger Training does not seem to compare. I was attending HRST Masters Course with 2 Seals a few regular Recon Marines and A few Force Recon Marines and both seals had the Ranger Tab on there utilities. They joked with the Force Marines (who had also attended) that they had slept through the Ranger Course. Now a bit of bias on my part but never anything less then the truth. The drop rate for Recon and then Force Recon is decieving. First of all I believe their are much more stringent entrance requirements to even get into BRC (Basic Recon Course) The marines also start with a better group of candidates (Lets face it the average marine is usually in better shape then your average sailor.) Now Regular Recon may not compare to the Seal Training but consider this, to enter into Force Recon Training you must serve 3-4 years in a regular recon unit (not an easy try out is it?) I think you can substitute 3-4 yrs in a STA Platoon (Scout Snipers). After that you get the chance to enter the Amphib Course for Force Recon of which 60% Drop, are Dropped or are injured and cannot continue. Remember these aren't regular Navy CPO's or Seaman hell these aren't even your average marine. These are Recon Marines dropping. This should go to show you that this course (althought little known) May be as tough as the trainning Seals Recieve in BUDS. The force Recon Marines and Seals I got to know had great respect for each other and little respect for any other branch of services' Special Forces Units. They all knew each other from various schools and trainning exercises and never did I hear one or the other brag that my training was tougher than yours. This may not answer your question but should shed some light on the subject. Ok now off the record them Seals were tough as HELL!!! But they were a bit out of shape believe it or not. I went out drinking with them at a little bar called jug heads (Jax NC) And they admitted they didn't PT Much after buds. The Force Recon Guys were BEASTS. They PT Like Maniacs and off the record SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONSUME ALCOHOL EVER!!!! THEY RE-DEFINED THE WORD MANIAC!!!! (one other note Regular Recon Indoc is as long as Seal Training and full qualification takes longer)

I dont know where you got some of your info but you are wrong on some of it. For instance Indoc is only one day!! I get a kick out of guys including Marines who have never even tried out always know someone who has and/or try to tell the rest of these people here what they think they know when they havent got a clue!! If you havent tried out or werent even in a Recon Bn or Force Co. then keep the comments to yourself for you are giving out wrong or bad info!

I take no offense and don't usually try to step on toes. I do however think that if your going to be critical then you might as well take a moment to school us.

I also love how little respect SEALs have for S.F. considering our training takes around 2 years and I would bet he has never even met a real seal, because I can promise you it is nothing but respect going both ways.

87Ranger
02-26-2005, 12:36 AM
Wow! I give a great deal of respect to Seals. I don't know a lot about Recon, but i do some things about the Seals. One of my good friends is in National Guard, and his uncle was a Seal and said that the drill instructers are in your face a lot and throw things at/near you to try to get you to quit. I want to be a Seal someday, and I recommend the new book "The Finishing School" and "The Warrior Elite" by **** Couch to anyone who wants to be a Seal. If you wanna be a Seal, its the best read! The book tells you more than just BUDS but the 2 years of CQT training, the road to the teams, and all the wepons, specs. etc. If your bound for the best training in the world it's Seals. Many former seals from book say that if they had to go through seal training again, that they would enjoy most the seal teams and the friends they made that lasted a lifetime. I, want to be a Seal over a Ranger, but just have to find the stamina in me or seals motto. "I don't quit." After reading the book, Seals get to do Ranger training in city senerios (like BlackHawk Down) and get to train with some Marines. Seals are the fellas smokeing cigars running a mile. In parachute camp, if their told to do 25 pushups, they'll do 50. So if you think you have what it takes to be a seal, and can do over 500 pushups on the second week of Buds, than go for it! In CQT, Seals are expected to work hard and constantly get tested on running and training. You got to be able to lower you time on the mile, and then the 20 mile run with full gear on going through shooting stations, expected to score high, if not over time yo'll be droped. Remember Seal training never stops.

I recommend that if you wanna be a Seal, take a year off after high school getting prepaired. Start running and working out everyday. Find a friend to join up with you. My best friend is going to join up with me. Were going make it I hope. It won't be easy. I suggest running with a few layers of clothes on to simulate running in hot conditions with gear on put on a backpack with 60 pounds of books, or start low and work up. Next, find you limits, start running and see how far you can go, work up. In Seals, they start you off at 5 miles swimming and then work you up! Its now walk in the park. Then, finally before you enlist, do something so physical or strenous that makes you wanna quit. Find a way not too and keep pushing yourself, for you becoming one of the best warriors.

If you wanna do a job for the money, i first of all laugh, there's way better jobs out there. You gotta be committed. You also can't be a one man team. You gotta have patience and disipline and hard work. I want to go in the Seals inorder to find myself and also become a better leader. I want to able to say, Hey! you know what, I got to serve in the Seals in my lifetime and god dam it, I am proud. Most of all, getting the rush after jumping out of a plane at 25,000 feet at night with my friends and then juming in a raft that can reach speeds of 50 knots and meeting at a rendezvous point. Lastly, my final goal would be making Delta Force, you can't go wrong, there the best! 2nd to them would be Air Force Commando guys. These guys train extrememly hard and go out on the field in singles and paires. Talk about tough, wheres their respect!

I've talk to a buddy who is in the active army. He says that SF guys let their hair grow out that way they can blend in to their surroundings. The snipers go though the toughest training. They must shoot 40/40 targets and then be able to shoot bottle caps out of trees a few hundred yards away. If they miss, they have to do it over again and if they fail, their droped. That would be tough!

Lastly, Seals, if they mess up. They have to do pushups with full gear and must put their wepon out in front of them and appoligize for mis-shooting a target, for every target they miss. So, yeah do a lot of pushups and everything above. Best of Luck fellas heading to the Seals, it's An Oppertunity Of A Lifetime!




As for me, I am going up for my black belt next week march 4, 2005. I've done martial arts for 5 years in May and have learned so much that i can't even explain. I've done Sholin Fung Swa taught by United Studios of Self Defence-check it out, worth a lifetime! No joke, there moving all over U.S. Why U.S.S.D, because it is the only martial art where the Abbot of the Sholin Temple came out to California and dedicated a plaque to USSD in the temple. We are the only martial artists in the US allowed in the TEMPLE! So check it out, USSD.COM This isn't no bull **** art. You learn about every martial arts except for one that it in Brazil. It's a type of dancing/gymnastics fighting art. In Brazil, back in the day, Martial Arts were banned, there for they used dancing inorder to hide the art. So to make a long story shot, it's the only one we don't teach. You have to understand, it takes a lot of committment to learn and master any art. Earning your first black-belt is just the beginning. Anyway, check it out. It may be expensive, but if its a true passion, theres way around it. I've learned so much on how to be a better person from it. It's a art, it takes practice, and you can't quit. I've seen a fellow student get a black-belt and then quit for a year, she decided to come back and lost it all. She couldn't even remember a block or strike, all that money wasted. What a shame. So, check it out, it keeps you in shape. Also, they have agressive classes called Agro usually once a week with extra pads and gear. Saftey first, it only takes 15 pounds of pressure delieved by a strike to break a collar bone, or one kick to the knee crippling a person for life! It's a lot of fun and extremely tiring, you talk about endurance after 5 minutes of sparring. (beating eachother up in full gear)

You can even learn techniques online. USSD.COM. Every year we have China Trips where we can go out to the temple and get a demenstration from the monks. When they came to Cali a year ago, they taught students monk techniques! Thats sick! I couldn't afford the trip, but im planning on going this summer. Karate is a great disipline.

So i'm getting ready to go out to San Diego and take my black-belt test. I have to perform 5 pinans, 6 katas (forms) and then another 3 (8pt., 10pt. blocking systems, two man fist set both sides) and then 22 Dms or defence manuvers and 25 kempos all right and left handed infront of 7 masters of 5th degree black belts and higher in the freaking rain, god dam it! The test will last probibly all day! (takes 20 years usally to become master.) Now theres a test! Im going with 2 other black-belts their returing for their 2nd degrees and 2 other like me going up! I'm excited! Black-Belt baby!

They say martial arts training also helps in seals, since they do tatical trainging or training to kill.
Hope you enjoyed my thoughts and story.

And your experience to back up these claims of yours is???
BTW, on at NSC we would like see your creds to call yourself a Ranger. When did you go through RIP and what Bn are you with, did you get to go to Ranger School?? Black belts don't mean squat when it comes to "operating". Again, please enlighten us as to your qualifications to throw so much BS around our forums.

Scrolled Rangers can go to ARC(Amphibious Recon course,in my day) and Recon Marines(the lucky ones can get a slot for Ranger school). Ranger school is without a doubt a kick in the nuts as is all SoF type schools no matter what branch of service.

BTW it is SEALs not Seals and Marine is in caps!

THERE TRAINING WAS VOTED TOUGHEST MILITARY TRAINING IN THE WORLD.



I didn't know they were polling. I would have voted for the Coast Guard, just to shake things up a little.

SpecOps is not the Pepsi/Coke taste-off.

As far as your petty nit-picking about percentages---there have been BUD/s classes with 0 graduates and then there have been some great classes with 50% grads.

In closing---if you ever spend any time around operators you will see that real-world experience means a lot more then just about anything.
I would be willing to bet that a SEAL would rather go in with an SF guy with tons of trigger time, than a SEAL fresh out of SQT anyday.

They don't teach you the cool sh^t in BUD/s

Seriously, Mike's very right on this one -though disregarding his consistant insults... It's just too bazzare to leave a dissing comment in a Marine forum and not mean any disrespect. LOL too many people with their heads on backwards!

P.S. Mike stop worrying about peoples grammer man, it's really not a big deal! I'm gonna send you an email, Skip and I are trying to work up a community, Laters.

Just one more question though, who is better the Navy SEALs or Marine Recon? Just want to see what you guys think. My buddy who wants to be a Marine, says ask any Marine and they will tell you that a regular soldier in the Marines (non SF) can waste a Navy SEAL. I find that highly un-likely.

nhlstar33, both Special Forces have much to equally hard training. However, their specified objectivies are vastly different. For the most part Force Recons to my understanding do not perform underwater demolitions and etc. The Force Recons main title is for going behind enemy lines and gathering intel. Both Forces are trained to work under a stealth basis, but do different things. Neither is better than the other.

From the time I've had my membership with NSC, I've learned the reason why people so often see the Navy SEALs as better than any other Force out there is because their advertisment goes further than the others. How often do you see an adversisment or logo of the Green Barrets, Delta Force, Force Recon, etc, etc?

And don't worry about Mike, he just recently became a Marine so he's just got some sparks flying. He'll eventually learn to control them and know when it's nessesary to show them. Hope that answeres your questions. Good luck kido.

Oh yea, its all tactical, ready to use on the street. None of this head lock walk away **** . You learn, and you learn good. You wanna get to your feet before someone's buddy takes a club to your head. You get to your ASAP. You learn knife and club techniques that really pay.

Bravo Zulu my Brother.

It's cyber warriors like 87"Ranger" who really disgust me. So full of himself and his martial art training that he thinks his bovine excretment don't stink and he can talk down to a true warrior like you.It's people such as him that I would enjoy having a one on one discussion with.

I remember when I was stationed in Korea taking Tai Kwon Do classes from Grand Master Senei Shin. the firsr and most important things we had to learn was disapline and self control. When I read posts from young people like 87 ( I refuse to call him Ranger anymore ) I really wonder if that is still part of the instruction.

You tell me what tool is better a Hammer or a Wrench?

Answer: Depend on the job or the task you have to do.

And in the end, it doesn't really matter who the best his, because a 13 year old kid with a AK-47 in a third world country , with very little military training, could send a S.F. Soldier, home in a Human remain bag. And this wouldn't make the 13 year old kid a better Soldier, just a live one.

Graduate first -- then, come back and ask again.

Better advise, Talk to a recruter in your aera and if satisfied, join the DEP ( delayed entery program) for the MARINE CORPS, and then you should have a clear view, of your choices in the military......PS. Be good E8 I'm watching you lolz.

First off I am not a Navy Seal, nor was I a Recon or Force Recon Marine.


You are a ******* ..I would like to clarify. In my day most ARS or ARC students do make the grade, and almost every inhouse RIP candidate who has heart and listens will also pass. I have personaly hit people like you in a bar enviroment..sometimes with glass. I have seen ear jam come from a confrontation with bud students and Recon folk.
I am a beast, In my ex's testimony...she stated that I was an Army Ranger and X- marine sniper who could snap her neck at any time.

I will leave this alone.

Main point!!!!!
No other unit in the world can compete with Marine INF regulars. Marines do not need to be part of SOCOM, because they are the best. And yes, do not consume alcohol with a Recon Marine if your objective is to piss him off.

P.S. things that are hard!!!!

70 showed up at 1st MARDIV Sniper School (2/92)
No SEALS....were not allowed due to failure rate
No Army
No FBI
No LE , Orange County...yet will make compromise to use ranges, and will teach searching and restraining......great bunch of fellas

30 were accepted for class after screening
19 after qual
11 after field week/hell week

Ratio: 1 to 7 or 14%

No other school has that ratio. Some classes have been as little as 4 grads.

Yes you have to be something else to pass!

Dude, this is complete BS. Maybe back in the day SEALs weren't allowed in, but I guarantee you it wasn't because they thought we would quit. One of my best friends graduated from the Marine Sniper course in Pendleton @ '99 and I'm not even going to mention what he thought of your "baddest of the bad" course.

Sandfrog is a "CURRENT SEAL INSTRUCTOR" -- give him, and the other SEAL's the RESPECT THEY'VE RIGHTFULLY EARNED!!!

SEALS vs. RECON = Mutual Respect.

That's all I have to say on the matter.



Thanks E8MC, I have many friends who are Instructors, but I never said I was one.

Thanks E8MC, I have many friends who are Instructors, but I never said I was one.Hmmm -- we have a "mutual friend" who's a current State Trooper and former SEAL whom I've just recently spoken with by phone (you know who I'm talking about, but I won't reveal his identity here) ... I'm positive he said you were, or currently are a SEAL Instructor; apparently I misunderstood.

Either way -- I've always had respect for you Gentlemen, and always will!

You are right, miss read post. had a hard time following the context.
Info was based off of early 90's and is not a current sit. The current rate for SS school is now in the 50%
range to the best of my knowledge. And I also do want to get into a pissing match. SEALs Kick, and so do the Recon folk.

Ha! Black-Belt bashing. You don't know **** when it comes to spending 5 years learing tactical training...learning how to break backs, bust heads open, rips someones groin off and plunty of fun **** like that. Oh yea, its all tactical, ready to use on the street. None of this head lock walk away **** . You learn, and you learn good. You wanna get to your feet before someone's buddy takes a club to your head. You get to your ASAP. You learn knife and club techniques that really pay.



Yeah, that's great. You must be a real dangerous guy knowing all that kung-fu.
Here is my guess. You are about 12 years old, you watch alot of Chuck Norris and Steven Segal movies and you have the delusion that you are a karate master.
one day when you are all grown up you will realize that life isn't a movie, and soldiers don't run around "Karate Chopping" terrorists. They shoot them, or drop a grenade on them, or call in an airstrike to trun them into crispy critters. So being a "Karate Boy" isn't really going to impress anyone. The only thing that impresses a Marine is another Marine or soldier who has put in the time, mastered the training, and fought alongside his friends...untill then you are pond scum, and not fit to post in this forum with the rest of us REAL JARHEADS!!!.
