Anyone know a HM SF?
I've got my HM contract and I head to boot in september, I'm trying to get more information on how getting into SF pipeline at HM A School works.

My main goal is Marine Force Recon when I hit A school, I tried to get FMTB on my contract but apparently they don't do that anymore?

When I was there, everybody who asked for FMTB received orders there. This may have changed due to the end of Iraq and the drawdown of Afghanistan, but especially if you identify yourself as a BRC candidate to your instructor and pass the PST, unless there's some sort of sudden urgent need for blue side schmucks to man hospitals or ships, it seems very unlikely that you would get turned down for a chance to try. The bar to get orders to special warfare schools is really low as long as you have good color vision and no medical problems. Getting through the schools is another story.

Yeah that's pretty much what my recruiter said: they are short on guys willing to get shot at.
Thanks for the info.
