How closely do SEALs and Force Recon Marines work together? Although FR is not an official special operations unit i was surprised not to see the column ASK A FORCE RECON MARINE, I am enlisted in the Marine Corps under the Delayed Entry Program, i have another year to finish high school and prepare for my career in the Military. Im hoping to become a FR Marine, although by even stating i want to be one undermines how intense it is and how much of an honor it implies. It makes me mad sometimes hearing how people say "im going to be a SEAL", just that phrase is somewhat disrespectful to those who have made it, a more appropriate phrase to me would be " Im going to work my *** off and hopefully I'll have what it takes to become a SEAL" but then back to my question, How closely related are the two units? Also, Ive also heard scuttle butt about how the SEALs do take some FR Marines into their indoc, i think is called Basic Underwater Demo, is this true? Can a Marine be a part of a SEAL team? I was thinking this might be possible on teams like DEVGRU, but if you get that high up not too much isnt possible. Those of you in the know please inform me and let me know just how wrong and ignorant my information is, thanks for any replies.
