SF is a combat unit. FID, UW, etc. is all about teaching others to become better at killing people and destroying things. If being a direct combat leader isn't your cup of tea, I'd abandon any and all interest you have in SF

While I am aware of SF Officers moving into CA, is there a record of CA officers moving to SF?
You can't directly branch into Civil Affairs as a new 2LT, at least on the active side. CA is a functional area that will not be accessible to you until complete branch qualification in your basic branch as an O-3, 4-6 years down the road after commissioning. Do a Goggle search on Army basic branches to learn about what branches you can enter as a new officer.
