Special Forces is not the infantry, although you do need to be an expert in infantry tactics.
My recommendation for those without a combat arms background who wish to join Special Forces:
1. Attend Ranger School if you can
2. Study FM 7-8 and the RHB if you are able, a knowledge base will help prior to your arrival at SFQC
3. Learn as much as you can at SUT. It can suck, but you must do more than just survive. Take the lessons learned and internalize them
4. Learn as much as you can from those on your team that have lived and breathed it. Know your own strengths and weaknesses
