Book Overview

Established in 1986, the U.S. Special Operations Command was set up to bring the special operational disciplines of all branches of the military under a single, unified command to act on missions involving unconventional warfare, special reconnaissance, foreign internal defense, and direct action... The Marine Special Operations Command ("MARSOC") is the newest component of the military's shift toward a fully integrated Special Operations Command structure. At first, the Marines were strongly against any Marines serving under anyone other than another Marine. Then 9/11 happened. In the years following, Marine forces found themselves growing more agreeable to inter-branch operational command, finally forming the Marine Special Operations Command in 2006.

Always Faithful, Always Forward follows the journey of a class of Marine candidates from their recruitment, through assessment and selection, to their qualification as Marines Special Operators. Retired Navy Captain Dick Couch has been given unprecedented access to this new command and to the individual Marines of this exceptional special-operations unit, allowing him to chronicle the history and development of the Marine Special Operations Command and how they find, recruit, and train their special operators.

Great Folklore Tales

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 12, 2009

My husband and I love the Outer Banks and have really enjoyed all of the books by Mr. Whedbee. While we do enjoy the stories, we are also learning a lot about the history of the area, and it is fascinating. These stories are good for all ages.

An Excellent Storyteller

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 9, 2000

Charles Harry Whedbee captures the attention of the reader in the very beginning of this book as any good storyteller can. From swashbuckling pirate tales of Blackbeard on Ocracoke Island to stories of lost loves or any Native American tales and legends on the Outer Banks, Mr. Whedbee does a spectacular job of pulling you out of the present day and time to the time of the story. It is my recommendation that if you love...
