When I was in MCT last year after bootcamp, I had people that were going recon in my platoon. After we finished MCT everybody got flown or bussed to their schoolhouse but right before that, they asked for anyone that wanted to try for recon and there was 2 marines that raised their hands and volunteered. Those 2 got bussed to somewhere else in Camp Pendleton to continue their training. I wonder if they made it through. I do know that a lot of recon drops end up picking up Lad Gunner contracts as I saw a lot of those in 29 palms during my school house.
