I have never know a Marine to be shy about saying he was in a Recon Bn or Force Recon Company. Most are right proud of it and will say so - even in print.
I don't see anything "Recon" related.

Sir,
I would have to agree with you on this. Bn Recon isn't out of the realm of possibility for a 'first termer' with Force Recon being remotely possible but highly unlikely during an initial single enlistment since they prefer a little experience with a line company at least or preferably select from Bn Recon since they have attended Amphib Recon School and are usually already jump and dive qualified. But, as with anything, it's the need of the Corps at the time. My guesstimation is the reporter quoted him out of context or he is FOS and probably never served at all.
