It's still annoying on those rare occasions.

It's alright, I do it too.

I do still want to know why a real military man (as opposed to us civvies) would choose FR over SEALs though.

I know nothing more than what I read, hear, or watch on tv. I might pick Force Recon because they are Marines who have a lot of combat training and were in the Marine Corps infantry before switching over to Recon. From what I have read, you need atleast 3-4 years of experience in the Corps and a top-notch record with great PFT scores to be even considered for the Recon indoctrination program.
SEALs on the other hand are Sailors who probably didn't see a lot of combat because they were on ships and were doing different jobs before they applied for BUDs.
That might be one reason why I'd pick Force Recon platoon over a SEAL platoon.
I'm still curious to know why OoE would pick FR over SEALs.
