I have understood it as: CSO = Raider
SOCS-C JACK

I understand that is what people are saying...everyone except at least 2 of MSOB commanders. I know the commander from 3d and it wouldn't surprise me if he also falls in line with their way of thinking.
MNOC grads are held accountable for maintaining their skill. It may have slid a bit in the past because the high turnover rates during the war or whatever, I wasn't there yet, but from what I've seen is each team has 2 junior CSOs or 1 junior and an AEL who are responsible for team comm(MNOC grads). And this is true for my battalion at least, I can't speak on behalf of the others. I'm not disregarding a SOC-C is replaceable or irrelevant but it's not a point of failure at the team level. It is a company level asset, but is mission enhancing to a team to take a good bit of the burden off the shoulders of an MNOC guys to focus on other responsibilities. As far as the lack of knowledge on basic comms up to a 148 that's a negative blanket statement and that's on the team if that holds any truth, that sure isn't the case for everyone.
Any who, just my 2 cents. The tattoo, I wouldn't do it man, that's Recon's piece of history, that's like me getting a jack, while yes I may possess those same skills as my Reconnaissance brethren, I didn't goto BRC. Do something in regards to history your organization has now, or be prepared to always answer to someone who questions you about the origins of your jack.
