My question exactly.
I don't know if it's just me or others share my view, but generally junior support officers are only seen as staff peons, with little to no real exposure to the ODA's. Your best bet in preparing yourself to be an 18A is going combat arms, i.e. Infantry...hint hint. In a combat arms branch, you learn to be a combat leader, working with hard charging NCO's/soldiers. As a junior support officer in SF, you will learn the admin side and the SF culture, but not much more. So decide which is more important as an officer...training or paper work.
