Between a SEAL, Marine, and an Army Ranger, it can vary. One of the best snipers was Carlos Norman Hathcock II. This Marine had 93 confirmed kills. Another was a SEAL by the name of Chris Kyle who had 160 confirmed kills.

∙ 9y agoIt's really an apples and Oranges comparison. Rangers are a specialized infantry force... SEALs have a wide variety of missions... not all of the SEALs do the kind of counterterrorism missions you see in the movies (insofar as the SEALs go, that's almost exclusively the domain of SEAL Team 6, whereas other Teams will have different missions). A Ranger sniper will be used as a force multiplier, directly supporting an infantry force.. the kind of special ops, standalone or out in front sniping missions tend to be more the domain of scout units moving ahead of line units (e.g., Scout Snipers in the Marines and Army) and the CIA's Special Activities Division.

What can you do to train for marine force recon?
Preparation for 0321 Marine Force ReconYou 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).*There are related links below covering some specific aspects of PFT for Combat/Recon.
Do the Marines have Special Operations Units?
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.

Can a marine become a army ranger?
Certainly. You get out of the Marines at your normal separation date, then reenlist into the Army for the 75th Ranger Regiment. As far as walking into your Marine Corps first sergeant's office and telling him, "First Sergeant, I want to be an Airborne Ranger! I want to live a life that's filled with danger!" he will either laugh at you, put you on additional training for three days for having heretical thoughts, tell you about Marine Recon, or all three at the same time. Ranger school is a school (just like airborne, pathfinder, etc). Yes, servicemen from other branches of the military (and foreign militaries) are allowed to attend Ranger school to receive the Ranger tab. Graduating from Ranger school does not mean you are in a Ranger battalion (or a Ranger, for that matter.) To be in a Ranger battalion, you must be in the Army (since all Ranger Batts are army units.) Marines do not need to enlist with the Army to become a Ranger. Much like a any Army Soldier can elect to receive Ranger Training, so can a Marine. Actually, there are documented cases of Marines that have scored the highest in their Ranger class because they were more prepared for the stress. As a perspective Marine, I have looked into this personally and done the research. If you have any further questions, seek a recruiter, because he can help you more. A Marine can earn his Ranger Tab, he is only considered a tabbed Marine. He will not be able to wear the tab (although some Marines elect to sew the Ranger tab under the front pocket) A Marine will often be nicknamed, ie. Ranger LoGiudice, or some other acquired nickname. I served with 1st Recon Bn, 1st MarDiv and our unit tried to send one Recon Marine per Ranger School Class. I attended Class 3-95, you might remember that class, as 4 Ranger students died in the Florida swamp phase. I am now Ranger Tabbed. I cannot publicly display it the USMC uniform. However, if you get out of the USMC and enlisted in the Army, you could then join a Ranger/SF unit, and therefore be a considered a Recon Ranger, I served as a Army National Guard Medic for seven years after serving on the active side of the Marine Corps. I am proud of all my military service. My former MOS was 8654 - Recon Marine, Airborne, Scuba qualified. I the new Recon MOS is 0326. Recon is the MOS to have if you have the heart. I attended the best schools and my career was on the right path, not a life for a married Marine. A side note: Ranger School was no joke.
What is Philippine Marine Corps Force Recon Battalion's motto?
The motto of Philippine Marine Corps Force Recon Battalion is 'Recon'.
Who is better seals or marine force recon?
Both Navy Seals and US Marine Force Recon are effective fighting forces, but they have different missions. Seals operate on a very small- unit individual mission basis, as their killing of Osama bin Laden demonstrated, while Marine Recon will scout a battlefield and destroy any key defenses prior to a Marine assault. Neither is 'better'; both are incredibly effective at what they do.
