Marine vs US Navy Seal?

Question

and why?

Well consider this. Think "I am Legend." The world is overrun by zombies. Who do you want guarding your home? Who do you want hiding in the forest. Who do you want to recon? etc. whatever you can think of.

You don't necessarily have to pick one to be better than the other overall. Just tell me which you would want in whatever situation.

Answer 1

If i needed to get into and out of a sticky place the seals. If its recon and more of a defense measure the marines

Answer 2

I am a former Marine and I know and have spoken with SEALs about this subject. Here s the skinny. Anyone who wants it can be a Marine or a SEAL. Depends on the individuals ambition. Marine Coprs basic training drop rate is over 40%. Yes Marine recruits do quit, refuse to train and are discharged. The average recruit is 19 years of age and their first time away from home. SEAL drop rate is 80%. However these guys go back to the Fleet, because they have already begun their military careers. SEAL candidates are older, more mature. They need to be because of the classified work they do. It was agreed during a Marine SEAL conversation that if you took a graduation platoon from either MCRD. With each Marine MOTIVATED to become a SEAL and sent that platoon to BUD/S. The drop rate would be single digits. HOWEVER, the maturity factor may not allow for an affective team. Marines and SEALs have different missions and both are excellent at those missions. BUT because I am a Marine, I will not resist the temptation to say. A SEAL is a Warrior King, who was too much of a wussy after High School to be a Marine! Semper Fi Green Faces

Answer 3

They are trained to do different jobs and have much different training, the SEALs also do have some marines with them.
Wash out rate for the SEALs is around 70%, all that start BUDS training are physically qualified, they wash out because mental attitude will not accept the training. A friend of mine just retired from the SEALs and during his career had about 200 HALO jumps. Also a SEAL officer has the only MOH that has been earned in afganstine and as the case so often is he was not alive to recieve it.

Answer 4

US Navy SEALs (sea, air, land)
From 1962 when the first SEAL teams were commissioned, to present day, Navy SEALs have distinguished themselves as an individually reliable, collectively disciplined and highly skilled maritime force. Because of the dangers inherent in NSW, prospective SEALs go through what is considered by many military experts to be the toughest training in the world. Are you motivated to succeed? Are you determined to persevere? Are you ready to accelerate your life? Consider a career in Naval Special Warfare (NSW). We seek smart, fit, hardworking young men from all backgrounds to join our team of SEAL operators. It is a career that offers unmatched challenges, and job satisfaction to motivated candidates.

Answer 5

SEALS are a highly specialized outfit their training is much more intense than what typical Navy personal receives. Can't even begin to compare the two.

The Marines have specialized troops too RECON comes to mind, their training is also much more intense that what your typical infantrymen get.

Answer 6

Both tough,but Navy SEAL WINS hands down both have good training but SEAL has more training......

Answer 7

What information are you after? Who's better, or which of the two jobs should you join?

If it's the latter, don't bother trying to jump into either until you're damn sure which one you want.

Answer 8

Navy Seals are more highly trained.

But I would not like any of them coming at me in combat.

Answer 9

US Marines...a whole butt load more of them...stricly a numbers thing here with the zombie issue. Plus they have airpower and armour.

Answer 10

If you mean which one is better....I would say the Navy Seals. They're more highly trained...but for open field combat, I would say Marine.

If you mean which one I would like to join...I say neither...RANGERS all the way!! ^_^
