Who here can tell me about the Marine's Special Forces? Anyone with any experience? I'm going to be a marine when I finish school, like every other man in my family, but I want to pursue special operations. Any tips, or differentiation between force recon and battalion? Or Raider experience?

No advice except make sure that you can swim gud, land navigate with a map and compass alone, you have excellent cardio, and you're strong as hell. Obviously you better be a excellent marksman.
If you don't have any experience with this, hit up your local school that has a ROTC program. They have land nav courses, and you can contact your local sheriff to get certified.
Woodland firefighting is a great way to get in shape for the military. Paramedic training is great too, if you want to be a reservist marsoc.
You're probably good at all this stuff since it's a family thing, but if not take classes. Take a swimming class, a cycling class for cardio, a yoga class to improve your flexibility and resistance to injury, and a weight-lifting class to improve your gains.
Don't do it and switch over to army, go Rangers, actually do shit

if youre recon that goes marsoc indoc the recon cadre marsoc instructors will treat you better than non recon inductees.
lots of "squared" away Admin Marines will go to your marsoc unit so you have a lot of drill instructors in your support companies so actuall marsoc team people will be constantly yelled at by these drill instructors for their low regs, marsoc issued gear, and why field day and rosters were perfectly done.

The Marine Corps does not have special forces and has nothing to do with SOCOM other than logistical and administrative relations.
We have riflemen and slight specialized variations of riflemen, and that is all.

We had MARSOC Marines onboard for deployment. Well respected, provided sharp shooter support and occasionally disappeared for a few days at a time.
If you're not doing 20+ pull ups, push ups/crunches until you get bored of counting and a mile in under 6, get there first. You won't hang cutting the minimum.

There are 2 types of Marines
1)Marines who are trained to kill human beings professionally, then get sent off to a special school to learn how to kill human beings even more efficiently under horrible and stressful combat circumstances
2)Marines who are trained to kill human beings professionally, then get sent off to a special school to learn how to another skill on top of their murdering skills
MARSOC is the meme of special forces.
Don't even have a spot in JSOC and the Marines quite clearly hate the fact that MARSOC even exists.
