Short story: I EAS'd as a Sergeant in 2009 after serving with 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Bn, C Co. I have 2 pumps to Iraq as an 0313 under my belt (first pump as an LAV-25 gunner, second as a vehicle commander). I finished my Bachelor degree in 2016, and have been running my families ranch in West Texas for several years. I miss the Corps and want to get back into the fight. I want to stay in the reconnaissance community and go the 0321 route. Im 30, in good shape physically and mentally.
As far as 4th Recon goes, C CO out of San Antonio is the closest company, then Albuquerque, NM.
Here are my questions:
1) Do the Reserve Recon Companies each focus on something in particular (jump, dive, etc...) depending on their geographic location and assets, or are they all uniform in their training?
2) Can a reserve 0321 eventually put in for the MARSOC screening?
3) Are any Recon BNs or companies still deploying right now?
I need to make an educated game plan before I initiate any contact with the recruiter.
I appreciate all the help.
