Future Leader - one of the things you might notice in regard to your responses, a hugely key thing in all SOF and the military in general - you have to be open for learning at all times. You must pay attention to detail, and be accurate in your questions, ALL SF is SOF, not all SOF is SF. The moderating staff and the Mentor group are teams, we work that way almost without thinking... Why do you think that is?
Huge Note: Pay attention to Line numbered 5 in my original post - that goes for every non military unit... you are so far away from even thinking about them that you're in a different universe. Forget about them, they do not exist at this stage of your life.
Your responses are close to miserable, follow the adjunct instructions from Goon175. although this seems like harassment at the moment, you are getting mentorship that many young DEPers would kill for, from people that have experience.
Any Marines, MARSOC, Recon, etc... feel free to join in the discussion to help guide our young padawan toward enlightenment.

Alright. I might not have anything for a week or two. And I do appreciate you guys helping me figure this stuff out now rather than me looking like an idiot later. I'll make a google doc and work on this when I'm not doing homework. Until then, wish me luck.
Strike one. If you want us to help you, at least have the decency to read what we post.
I don't know fellas. So far, his track record on READING & COMPREHENSION screw the pooch.
Is he worth the effort?
But, I'll give him that he's trying.
Don't overthink it. Do what the Ranger and SF mods recommend.

I don't mean to step on the toes of my fellow staff or the other excellent posts in this thread.
FL, I say this without being a Marine, quite ironic perhaps given that this the Marine Corps' birthday, but go into the USMC because you want to be a Marine and everything else is gravy. Within reason, the services have jobs which overlap, are similar, or even more-or-less identical. You're thinking about which race care to drive when you don't even have a learner's permit. Unless you are going for a service-specific job, pick a branch and go from there.
Next, x SF Med's tasker was designed to make you think, not regurgitate info found anywhere. You came to us as a clean slate and he tried to make you fill in some of the blanks. Any idiot can copy and paste, but that isn't learning. The heart of SOF is performing the basics at a high level. Critical thinking and articulation are something that every adult should possess. You're 17 and we could give you a bit of a pass on these two if you weren't so far off the mark.
We've helped I've-lost-track-of-the-number guys and gals in your position make a choice, BUT IT WAS THEIR CHOICE. We helped open a door, we didn't shove them through. Your OP makes it sound like you need a push and we don't do that.
Oh, this?
We either know synonyms for inane or can look up the definition for ourselves. Id have thought nothing of your usage of the word had you not felt the need to elucidate (explain).
I'll close with: Had you followed x SF Med's intent you would have done your own research, your own thinking, and narrowed down your choices on your own. The simple act of doing the research SHOULD (in theory) have helped you understand your options. At worst, you would be less ignorant but still undecided.
Less CTRL-C, CTRL-V, and more CTRL-N. Go.
