DEVGRU(Naval Special Warfare Development Group) formerly known as SEAL Team 6 has a 9 month Special Operations Assaulter course. Im positive that Delta Force's selection time would be very similar to this,it used to be 6 months. But since the 2000's Special Operations units have been upping the anty on there selection courses. DEVGRU and Delta Force are very comparable so im sure Delta's selection is probably about the same.
You are mixing services. Rangers are a part of the US Army. US Marines are a separate military unit.
Marines
Marines are regular forces but have their own specialist special operations branches such as force recon. Rangers are elite light infantry who are trained to support tier one sf on operations. Seals are a special operations force who are as good or better than the rangers on land but are also trained in military diving and free fall parachuting. These skills set them apart, they also have the most difficult training of the 3 units. So the SEALs are 'the best'.
The initial course which snipers go through to be selected as snipers is longer in the Marines. However, once selected, training is going to be intensive for snipers in both branches, and they'll end up being on par with each other.
Airborne is an Infantry unit that has the ability to deploy by air to the battlefield. Marines (if you are just talking about their Infantry) are an Expeditionary group that deploy by sea and work as the Infantry of the Navy. Rangers are a Special Operations Capable group that have the ability to deploy by Air Sea or Land in any part of the world within a few hours notice. Marine Corps Recruits go through Bootcamp and Army Recruits go through Basic Training, although they are very similar Bootcamp is longer by a few weeks and is said to be tougher due to the mentality that EVERY Marine is a Rifleman first. Becoming Airborne is an Army Special School that is Volunteerd for by recruits if they are in Infantry and have the abilities to become Airborne. Rangers are only a part of the Army although some Marines are invited to attend Ranger School. All Rangers must go through basic training as well as Airborne School on top of Attending the Ranger Assesment Program before being allowed to attend Ranger School. Ranger School is said to be among the toughest training available in the Military. Ranger school is an Intense 61 day training program that is divided into 4 phases that pushes candidates beyond their physical and mental abilities. There is an extremely high failure/dropout rate but for those who do graduate, they are considered are among the elite and can be compared with some of the worlds elite special forces groups such as the Navy SEALs MARSOC Marines and Green Berets. - - - - - Airborne doesn't necessarily mean infantry. The 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg has every kind of unit you'd find in any other division--engineers, artillery, supply--but every soldier in the division is airborne. You've got to look at the service past your initial training...and either the 82nd Airborne or the Rangers would be better than the Marines because the Rangers and 82nd jump into battle, and the Marines walk.
no, you play as U.S. Army Rangers
It doesn't matter they are both very helpful both are very good options in the military but i heard that airbourne troops are not used as much anymore due to the war in the middle east. i was also looking into the airbourne rangers but decided to go with the marines

Snipers have their own training program, in all branches. For a sniper serving in a special operations unit, such as the Army Rangers or Special Forces, Marine MARSOC, Navy SEALs, et. al, they will also have to undergo that training, as well.
The US military academy was founded long time ago. One of the first training grounds was created by William Roger the founder of Roger's Rangers and the US army rangers. Rogers was born in Methuen Mass and fought in the french and Indian war but during the revolution fought as a loyalist. The methuen rangers are named after him and his group.
