"They invented that for people who didn’t know it was duct tape."

It's Duck Tape duct tape. Say that three times fast.

I have known some smaller and lighter than that.

Knew a guy who worked at Grumman 0 had some tape used to fix leaks in F14 fuel tanks

Man that was some tape.......

Not to mention many are 5’7” and weigh 170.

Back in 1968 we were told that the average enlisted Marine was 5'8", 155 lbs, 19 years old and many had a little college.

"What! Who's calling me an "average" Marine!"

Excellent to Outstanding! The only way to go.

My Force Recon DI was my size, as were several of the SEALs I met in ‘Nam.

And most of the best C.O.s I knew were not from the Sgt. Rock, ‘Ahnold’, etc. mold.

Noooooo! I’ve used that tape on ducts, race cars and airplanes, but never ducks.

I tried to go to the site for a look at the SOCOM factbook and was stopped cold because Firefox said the site is insecure.

Ain’t that a hooah

I loved when SOCOM asked the Marines to offer up some “special operators”. Their answer, “Pick a Marine, any Marine!”
