RGR Do you know the word 'obfuscate'? Do you have a clue at all? My thought is no. FACT: Training at any level, for any military position, is based around what skill sets and physical capacities the particular function requires. That is why there IS BASIC training. A Marine Recruit becomes a Marine when he or she completes BASIC training. At that point they are considered to be physically fit, smartly trained, well-disciplined, basically trained Marines! NOW...training for Recruiting Duty bears NO resemblance to Force Recon! Motor-T looks for different skills than a Mortarman. You still don't have a clue, do you? Just here to toss out smarmy comments and attempt to confuse the issues. Would you like to buy a vowel?
