Marine Force Recon

by Fred J. Pushies

In this first ever published account, learn what it takes to be an elite Recon soldier in America's toughest military service the Marine Corps. Enter the unknown world of Marine Force Recon and follow new recruits as they descend into the hell of "indoc"- a grueling 48-hour test where physical and mental failure lead to elimination and through the completion of advanced Jungle Environment Survival Training at Camp Schwab, Okinawa. Find out how these men are trained to carry out missions with stealth, speed, and accuracy; how they infiltrate enemy lines to gather intelligence and/or conduct search and destroy missions that only the finest of America's troops could accomplish. Delve into the history and uncover the founding origins of this elite unit. Read about the ten different training grounds, including the mentally challenging eight week Amphibious Recon School and the dangerous Combat Dive Training, just to name a few.

This is a new book that was out on Marine Force Recon. It has some of my friends in there. S/Sgt. Frank Parker (Now Retired) And Gunny Sgt. Tim Hatcher (Now Ret.), who I think is one of the best Recon Marines to don the uniform!

Interesting reading about one of what my best friends went through to become a Recon Marine.
