You need to prepare yourself physically, and most importantly, mentally. It doesn't matter how physically fit you are, instructors can break you and continue to ride you if your spirit is broken.
1. Run a LOT!
2. Swim a LOT!
3. Get over any fear of heights (you're going to be jumping out of helos and planes).

I think it is the Marine Force Recon.
Originally Force Recon, they are now known as Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC).
Apples and oranges. The US Army Rangers and Marine Corps Recon are two very distinct groups with very distinct missions. They cannot be equally compared.
The primary special operations force of the USMC is simply known as MARSOC, the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command.Also known as Force Recon from their historic origins as an elite Marine unit that wasn't attached to the Special Forces, it is not as well known as the Army Rangers and Navy SEALs becuase it is a relatively new outfit, established in 2006. Unlike Force Recon, MARSOC was established as a full member of the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) so as to coordinate an increased need for joint special operations and counter-terrorism.
Yes. The Marines created MarSOC in 2006. The 1st and 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalions (MSOB) were created from the Force Recon companies. The 3rd MSOB was created in 2009. They conduct foreign internal defense (training foreign military units), recon, and direct action operations, similar to the Army Special Forces.
The motto of Philippine Marine Corps Force Recon Battalion is 'Recon'.

I think it is the Marine Force Recon.
Marine Force Recon is a branch of MARSOC (Marine Special Operations Command) and their job is to locate HVT's (High Value Targets) and other threats for the main infantry. There is no question about it, they are the most elite fighters in the United States. Many say that Navy SEALs are more elite, but there are over 3,000 SEALs in the world, and only about 300 Force Recon Marines in the world.
