for years and years the marines were always called on first for sea based assaults,they were and are the elite.i joined the corp in 1969 and have since talked to pretty much every branch of the milatary re just boot camp,we had it harder back then than anyone and although its easier now i still think training is more intense in the crotch than any other branch of the service.ther are other branches of the service that are specialized such as seals and special forces but there is still marine recon.i may be a little one sided on this for some reason.......................old semperfi
