army infantry?

[danielM6102]

how hard is it to get chosen for ranger training? and does the army really get in to combat as much as the marines? and what would the army give me that the marines dont if i got in infantry?

If you know how to use the computer then you can research the information. Start by entering RANGER into your search engine and let it do all the work for you.

If you're Army infantry, you'll get the opportunity to rescue Marines. Just kidding.As long as you master your skill level in your MOS, are in top physical and mental shape, you'll have a good chance of getting in to a Ranger Training Unit (Battalion), thus a shot at Ranger school.Many more Army soldiers have been in combat than Marines.

Im not sure about the ranger training thing but I do know that Every Marine is a basic rifle men and they go through a course called warrior training before they even go to their mos school. so the marines there are trained in 2 things where as is you were in the army infantry thats all you do.

To answer your specific question about do Army and Marines get into equal amounts of combat; Thats difficult to answer as the numbers of one service so outweighs the numbers of the other. That being said:Casualties:Army-2388Army Guard-439Army Reserve-130Marines-857Marine Reserve-129Marine IRR-1http://icasualties.org/oif/USDeathsByService.aspxI think you can see, based on raw statistics, they both see the brunt of military fighting in Iraq/Afghanistan. So far as Infantry, just pick the service you think you like better. For the most part, light infantry is light infantry, unless you start getting into specialized groups such as Ranger, or Marine Force Recon etc.
