From your intro
From your intro
".....I'm interested in the 18x program and would like to find information related to it. ..........."
Read more, post less - I know this is your second post.
Let me know when you've read every post in this forum since it started that relates to SF. Until then..............

Cat, as with everything, this answer will be based on you and your desires. If you want it, you'll get it. No easy answers here, either make your mind up and go for it, or don't.

Don't be a smartass. We aren't here to serve you. Take the time and show you MIGHT be the right material by doing a little research. There are few questions that have not been asked and answered already in this forum.

If you are an SF NCO and go O you must...
serve in a conventional unit until you are a senior Captain with the AD Crs completed and Company command accomp...we don't have LTs.
You will have to go thru the SF Officers course minus SFAS and some other things.

I'm just curious, and I want to know if my recruiter was right when he said that SF was an MOS and after OCS a former NCO with an SF MOS would have no problem becoming an SF officer.]

You got your answer,now follow it........  However your question was answered by a QP who did just that...........

I would say you are likely to be neither, since you started this thread without having done your own homework.
Searching and reading are highly encouraged here, with asking a distant last. You are not off to a good start.
You might also want to reread A Message to Garcia before proceeding further. THAT is the sort of people we are looking for.

IMO you've just answered your own specific question and that answer is that it would be very difficult for you.

Well that was fun. I think he was well on his way to making a great "last impression."

Cat, since you can't seem to let go, I have a task for you. I want you to tell me three advantages of an SF Qualified NCO returning to the Q Course and qualifying as an 18A SF Officer.
Lets see what kind of analytical reasoning you are sitting on.
Any three.
Do this AFTER you read a Message To Garcia like TR guided you to.
Until you complete this task don't post anymore.
