My question is: Do you currently-serving (or previously serving) Quiet Professional's have a lot of former Recon Marines (or Marines in general) serving in your ODA's?

I have three former Marines on my ODA. Two were former Scout Snipers and one was a former 8654 (Dual Cool) FR Marine from Oki. My former Recon Marine who is now my Senior 18C left the Marines and Recon for the same reason that you're son mentioned.
One of my fellow team sgt is a former Recon Marine, our old company SGM was a Recon Marine.
BLUF, lots of Marines cross over to Army SF, but you hardly ever hear of an SF Guy going to the Marines or to Marine Recon.
