Thanks Spetz.

This is the logical beefed up and multicapable extension a of FAST Company. They went ahead and canibalized a Battalion [if I am not mistaken it was 3rd Battalion 8th Marines....a unit I was a member of after my stint at FAST] and based it at Lejeune. I believe they are going to make strides at linking it with JSOC.

It would be great to be back there...I am positive they are training daily on my old stomping ground. It would be so much fun.

Is there any advantage whatsoever that the 5.56 round has over the 7.62 (apart from maybe that more can be carried and they are all used by our allies)?
