What branch/specialist group would he be in?

I know this might be a bit much with current situations, but this question came to mind as I was reading the "If Boba used Earth weapons" thread.

In my opinion, it's between Marines or Army Rangers.  What do you guys think?

I think he would be in the Navy SEALS. they are more Bounty Hunterish and they do their missions mostly quietly and carefully just like Boba Fett.

there are no star systems slave 1 can't reach, and there's no planet I can't find. There's nowhere in the galaxy for you to run. Might as well give up now. -Boba Fett

Definately SEAL. Rangers tend to go in and adapt the populace into a fighting force,SEALs just go in and make you wish you were somewhere else.

Either SEALS or Rangers.

SEALS---that's a great suggestion too

They would obviously create a whole new branch of the military just for Boba. Or maybe the secret service as an assassin (Don't think they don't have them.)

But as for military... probably Marine Force Recon.

Good... Bad... I'm the one with the gun.

Seals they are bad M.F.

I think he would be in the Marines special forces like the Green  berets.

I would say Delta Force, or maybe the Navy SEALS. Both are highly regarded for their skills, their operations are shrouded in secrecy, and they do a mixture of sneaky stealth operations and good old fashioned combat.

Or the black opperation forces.

That couldnt be further from the truth. A little research will show that they are two completely separate areas of service.

That would be in fitting with his renegade spirit.

Lol yeah I think he would be a good motivator.

This is easy Navy SEALS because they are what Boba would be

SEALS, without a doubt.

Seems to be the overall vote so far is for the SEALS

Nice wordage!

But I agree, I believe he'd prefer a SEAL position over anything else.

Not at all. Delta Force is far superior, more specialized and more covert than SEALs. Delta Force are close to black ops.

Boba's a very skilled allrounder, but he's not too much of a team player or covert ops guy. In terms of specialization, he's probably a mixture between SEALs, Delta Force, SAS, Green Berets, SOAR Nightstalkers and Rangers. And maybe with a slight touch of Black Ops.

I could see him as a Green Beret.They tend to pull solo missions more often then the others.

I'm smiling because they havn't found the bodies yet. :)

International ranks are cool--I just wasn't sure how other countries' military branches worked when I began this thread ;)

Well the SAS is supposed too be the most lethal of all the special forces units.

I am afraid I do not know much about the US military so I am going to choose something from the British army.

I think that Boba would be great in the SAS.
