Oh please. No disrespect intended but being able to squeeze a trigger does not qualify you as a "shooter". I'm not bucking on Recon but if there is one place where the Corps deposits its "shooters" then it is here...

The 2,200 Marines and Sailors of this Norfolk-based battalion now serve 72 U.S. Navy bases around the globe. Additionally, within the battalion's structure is a training establishment that produces the most deadly multi-weapon, small arms marksmen in the Marine Corps, as well as the nation's only dedicated military anti-terrorism forces, the First and Second Fleet Anti-terrorism Security Team (FAST) companies.
I'd know...
I was one of them.
No disrespect taken. But I know very well what I am talking about - I'll leave it there -
As I said in the term of "shooter" as I was referring those within MARSOC are not going to be the "shooters" or trigger-pullers in the mold of SEALs and Delta. They will not be tasked with the same roles and responsibilities.
MARSOC will certainly be tasked with its own Ops (just as Rangers are at times) but MARSOC will also have a responsibility within SOCOM to provide QRF's as well as perimeter security in SOF DA Ops -
