I'm currently an Army ROTC cadet and will be commissioning in the spring. I want to put in my selections packet when I'm a 1LT promotable/CPT or whatever rank I can turn it in. I just found out I got branched infantry, which is a good start, and now I have to fill out my duty station and additional training request form.

I talked with a friend of mine who was SF for a few years but isn't in the Army any more, and he told me some of the things I can do to prepare are getting a duty station with an SF unit stationed there, try to get a LRP unit above company level as soon as possible, and take care of my feet. Right now I'm requesting Ranger School (being an infantry PL, that's a given), Sniper Emplacement Leaders Course, Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course, Sapper, and combatives.

What are some good duty stations that I should request? What additional training should I request that may be helpful if I would like to eventually go SF?

Thanks for the help,
Crispy
