Fun question and impossible to quantify. But for the sake of fun I'll add some perspective. All of the combat units have their slice of the tough sandwich they have to stomach. The top tier guys are the top tier guys and I think it goes without saying that they're tough, but they are also really well taken care of. I know some of the missions that the tier two guys do would drive top tier guys nuts. Tier two SF and SEAL teams that had to live in villages in the middle of Afghanistan would lose 20-30lbs per guy. Along that same train of thought, I've seen infantryman living in conditions and doing missions that would drive any pampered special ops guy crazy. Because of that, I'd have to say that a grunt infantryman or ground combat marine would be toughest. SOF guys are better trained, better equipped, usually more experienced and older, but usually better taken care of, and when duty call can handle business. But the infantryman and combat marines live a day in and day out tough life with very few extras.

Your job is mainly out at sea, please explain why a majority of the Navy can’t even swim well if at all these days?
EVERYONE is a class III swimmer in the military, it is the basic standard in every initial entry training.
I am an FMF qualified Sailor, I served ion the Tarawa in Somalia, And I flew with P-3's in operation Southern Watch. And my Unit participated in the fucking battle of mosul and the second battle of Fallujah.
Gunny you can suck my 7 inch dick any day of the week; that is why we have the marine bib on a dress blues, bitch.
Oh and the Marine Corps emblem is Chicken, sitting on a beach ball, with an anchor up its ass.

I am not trying to be biased but I would have to say the 75th Ranger Regiment. Those guys have a hard life. It is a tough unit to be. You have to try out just to be in it and then go to Ranger school beyond that. The deploy several times in a year and have a extremely high ops tempo. Most of the units in Spec Ops aren't that bad once you get into the unit. This is not the case. In the 75th they have to earn it everyday.

I concur 1LT, after Ranger school we trained for a solid year w/o a day off. Operational tempo is the name of the game in the 75th Ranger Regiment or any of the Battalions, hence the term Rangers Lead The Way!

PO2 David Dunlap - That's odd. I can't recall seeing many marines with Airborne wings and the few Marines we had in my Ranger School class all washed out. I guess they have more pending things to do.

CPT (Join to see) - Sir, that was sarcasm and inter-service rivalry, we all know the Marines have the best public affairs commercials. You'd think every Marine is a leg Ranger, and every Recon Marine is a SEAL.

How about separate categories for toughness? Let's differentiate with what "tough" means to different people:
1. Discipline and military bearing in all conditions: Old Guard
2. Physical toughness: SEALs
3. Mentally challenging: Cyber Soldiers? Maybe submariners?
It all depends on who you ask. Everyone's job is tough in its own way!

well not everyone's. I mean how hard is it to fuck up a soldiers pay, and not care that he has to pay it all back? Now, if the CO held the finance guy accountable for his own sloppiness, i would agree. But having had my pay messed up a couple of times, i think them finance guys are worse than most civilians.
