Are Marine Raiders Recon?

What is a Recon Raider?
The Recon Raider is the fast military unit of the Arctic Future. Can also be received by completing the Secrets, Cold Secrets, Western Mountains, No Allies, Cryptic, End Cold, No Avalanche, and Steady Supply Story Quest.
Can you go from Recon to MARSOC?
Yes, but as an 0311, unless you go to Recon straight out of SOI, you will be assigned to an infantry battalion and will most likely have to serve your enlistment in the grunts. Then you could reenlist if you are accepted into Recon or MARSOC. If you get into Recon, there will be reenlistment bonuses to stay in Recon.
