I often felt that there had to be some where the Marines could put those guys who were not quite up to 0311 standards.

Putting these, not quite good enough to be 0311, guys with Army and Navy 'special' forces, is a good place, hopefully it won't make them feel as inadequate and being in 'special forces' will give them funny little hats to wear. Kind of like special education in the publik skool system.

Within 50 years all the branches of the armed forces will be merged into one.

To all the former Marines out there:

An ole Gunny in 6th Marines once told me that if you can't cut it in Kilo 3 6, you could always go to Recon, sniper school or, God forbid, artillary.

You could not pay him to lower himself to even mention Special Forces.
