Let me lay down my scenario first:
I'm 22 earned a B.A. and am going enlisted as an E-4, 4 year contract.
Waiting for recruiter to finish my police check right now before I can go to MEPS to select my MOS.(91whiskey in mind)
My ultimate goal is to become a Special Forces Medic.
I could not go SF right "off-the-street" due to a previous arrest according to the recruiters but they say after 2 years of trouble-free dedicated service, my civilian record will be wiped clean because I will have "proven" myself and I will be able to go SF. (get a waiver or a voucher from a superior?)
(This was the only time I was arrested ever, Driving While Ability Impaired, its a violation but the Army considers it a misdemeanor.)
Basically, could you men tell me the process I have to go through to get to SF?
(or SF selection)
Whatever it takes men, thats what I'm prepared to do. However long it takes, anything, I made the choice not to go to graduate school, this is what I want where I believe I can do the most good and be the most happy simultaneously. Any advice/information will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I originally posted this exact text on military.com then I received an email from a Captain referring me to this site saying that this is where I will get reliable information and be able to talk to people who know their stuff.
