Here we go again
Here we go again
Bogorappaz represent
The song "Here We Go Again" by The U.S. Army Airborne & Infantry is a motivational anthem for soldiers serving in the army. The phrase "Here we go again" is a nod to the fact that soldiers live a life plagued with difficulties and challenges that they must overcome every day. The opening lines "It's the real" signal that this is something that soldiers experience on a daily basis - this is not a drill, but the real deal. The repeated refrain "Here we go again" serves as a rally cry, fortifying soldiers' spirits as they face their next mission or challenge.
The inclusion of "Bogorappaz represent" is a nod to the unit that created the song - the U.S. Army Airborne & Infantry, or "Bogorappaz." This song represents both the pride that army units feel for their service, as well as the solidarity that they feel within their own unit. The song is an anthem for the brave men and women serving in the army, encouraging them to persevere and thrive despite the hardships they face.

I served as a Recon Marine for 5 years and discharged from active duty in 2019.
The actual difference between the two is very minimal. Each major marine corps division (1st, 2nd, 3rd) has a Recon battalion. Each battalion typically has a Force company and an R/S Company (each with usually 3 platoons), as well as all the supporting units. R/S means reconnaissance and surveillance, and what this video calls “division recon”. Each platoon typically has 2-3 teams, and each team has anywhere from 5-8 guys.
Force Recon is the company that focuses on direct action and VBSS. So they specialize on small scale raids and ship assaults.
R/S or Amphibious Recon platoons (what this video called “division recon”) focuses on reconnaissance and surveillance. These platoons will focus on insertion/extract behind enemy lines to provide intel for the regular infantry guys. We typically learned advanced patrolling, counter-reconnaissance, and observation of enemy buildings, airfield, roads, etc You name it, we could watch it and provide details to the commanders. So this video got the roles mixed up.
There’s not much difference to highlight other than the areas the platoons specialize in. They all go through bootcamp, infantry school, RTC (recon training company), BRPC, and BRC. Additionally, after BRC many go right to dive school, airborne, freefall, etc.
Several years ago (meaning Iraq and Afghan times) Force Recon companies would select guys who’ve done at least one deployment or MEU. So historically, Force Recon typically had more “senior” guys, but that doesn’t mean the Amphib platoons were worse, or that all the “experienced” dudes go to force. Reconnaissance and surveillance is the bread and butter of Recon, hence the name, so all new guys usually get sent to the Amphib platoons to further improve the skills learned from BRC. Some stay in R/S teams and others want to switch to force. Once you did a deployment or MEU and proved your worth, you typically had the option to do either.
But when I was in, they just grabbed guys at random for which company you went to: force platoon or amphib platoon. I’m guessing this was done due to the overall decreasing amount of service members in the military. Less marines = less recon marines.
Hopefully this jumbled mess makes sense. If you have any questions or are looking to join I’ll do my best to help.

I can’t speak for all of them, but the recon team at my post are absolute bros. They always come out to help us in training even when they have leave. They also help train our SRT boys. Absolute units, these guys.

I switched from Marines to Army, and ive seen some of the training Recon does. Someone in my Army unit (her husband was a former grunt) said that Recon wasnt THAT good of swimmers. When i asked her more questions, i found out her husband interacted with LAR Marines, not RECON Marines. Recon Marines are some of the best swimmers ive ever seen. Not only do you need to Excel on land, but you need to excel in the water. Much respect to you all in the community.

My dad was a Force Recon Marine, he was one when jungle warfare was mostly what he did. He wasn't in Vietnam, he was in around the 80s.
