Hello,
I spoke with a recruiter in the Colorado ARNG about obtaining an REP 63. He told me that that program was discontinued for non-prior's in fall of 2010.
However, he told me if Special Forces was the way I wanted to go, he would have the SF Admin contact me for an over the phone interview and if he felt that I had potential he would contact my recruiter and my recruiter would put the information in my file that after graduating OSUT, I would come back to Colorado for reception, and then be assigned to the 5/19th to train with them until deemed worthy or unworthy to attend SFAS.
Now my question: Is this even possible? Or am I being tricked into joining the ARNG Infantry with little chance of being assigned to the 5/19th? He said it would be written into my file and not just a verbal promise.
I also asked him at what point would I have to take the DLAB and he said that I would have to learn a foreign language if I made it to the Q course, but I wouldn't ever have to take the DLAB. He said everybody he's met or heard of in the 19th SFG has never had to take it either. Is this legit? It seems like he's telling me that so I will join and then have to take it before going to 5/19th for training and my future would be dependent upon me successfully passing the DLAB.
Thank you for you time,
Ryan
