Seal units or teams generally range from 4 to 8 people, always in twos.

Why can't Marine Force Recon become SEALs?

Navy and Marine SpecOps forces personnel are dedicated to their respective branches; the biggest exceptions are aviation (Naval and Marine Corps aviators fly off of Navy carriers) and Navy Corpsmen, who serve as combat medics for the Marines. The Navy also provides the Chaplains, Doctors, Dentists and JAG officers for the Marine Corps. The only combat trained officers from the Navy that serve with the Marines are those assigned as NGLOs, Naval Gunfire Liaison Officers that work with the Marines in coordinating Naval Gunfire support to the Marine forces. The only other Sailors who train with the Marines are the Navy's SeaBees, who must complete Marine Corps Basic Infantry training.

Their respective missions are also different; where Force Recon is first and foremost an advance scouting/recon unit deep inside enemy territory (ahead of invasion or larger forces), the SEAL's are geared more toward active combat behind enemy lines, as well as providing support to other government agencies (e.g., CIA, NSA).

That doesn't mean that they don't work together; they do. But their respective training is much different.

Of course a Marine can always leave the Corps and become a sailor and try to become a SEAL and vice-versa, but the likelihood of that happening is slim to none, and slim's out of town. Once you achieve the rank, respect, and honor that the hard work and training has given you by being selected, you don't want to leave.

Can a soldier in the US marine corps switch to be a united states navy seal?

Any U.S. Serviceman can become a SEAL, as long as the educational, physical, and madical requirements are met. In the case of a Marine first said marine would have to serve his obligated contract with USMC, or get a waiver and sign new contract of enlistment with the navy. Just talk to your career counsellor and get guidance on proper course of action. But the answer to the question is, YES a Marine can become a Navy SEAL, there are just a few more steps to climb. In any case if being a SEAL is the goal then that person will find a way. I know several former Marines that are in the teams now.

SEAL team 6 vs Delta force who gets more missions?

Both receive generally the same amount of training. It's know that Green Team (which is the name of the training that SEAL Team 6/DEVGRU goes through) is about 10 months, and that's not including BUD/S and SQT(SEAL Qualification Training) that all SEALs must pass before becoming a DEVGRU operator. The number of months that Delta Force trainees must go through is unknown, it was 6 months when they started but I can guarantee that number has changed. Delta operators are also usually former Rangers or Green Berets, so both units have guys who have a lot of Special Forces experience already. A lot of people think that SEALs are in the Navy and that the Army SF units don't learn diving, not true. Delta has all the same capabilities that SEALs do. The simple difference between the two is that SEALs are usually more water based and Delta are usually more land based. SEALs are highly trained in VBSS (Visit Board Search and Seize) GOPLAT (Gas/Oil Platform) operations, Delta are highly trained in taking down planes. That's not to say that DEVGRU can't take down a plane or Delta can't take down a GOPLAT but that is there respective specialties. Even if DEVGRU or Delta had a few months more training that doesn't necessarily mean that one is "better" than the other. Both are the only 2 Tier 1 SF units the US have to offer and both are very, very good at their job.

Was John Kerry former navy seal a murderer?

Absolutely not. He and his men were involved in an operation, in the night, with no more than 8 guys together (standard operations) Ready to fire, hopefully first, but if second, all out unloading. Remember that Navy Seals in Vietnam were on there own basically (except for the water, we are frogmen). They received fire first (not the objective) and unloaded. Who was killed is a matter that those guys must carry in their hearts. Did they do anything wrong, NO. This would have happen 1000 out of 1000 times for any SEAL Operators. Obviously they were not playing a game, and didnt come there to die.

The John Kerry tha that I am refering to is not the guy who ran for president. That Kerry was not a Navy Seal. He is a Senator, but not that one. Dont think that the poser John Kerry would make a pimple on the former Navy Seals butt.
