Hello gentlemen I've been on these forums for a little while now and have a few questions that I haven't been able to find the answer to.
My first question is how likely is it for a civilian to be selected with the 19th SF group out of Los Alamitos if he passes the try outs? I understand that civilians with exceptional skills from the civilian sector are welcome to try but I can't figure out what would qualify as an exceptional skill.
My second question is in regards to the 250th MI battalion which has a unit close to where I live and I would consider trying to get onto if I was initially unqualified for the 19th SF group due to having no military background. The unit out of long beach is considered a "tactical exploitation-interrogation" unit. Without violating security protocols would anybody be able to shed some light on what that means?
As for my last question, would having worked in a section of the MI community with the NG make one a valuable asset for the 19th SF group? If not, what would you recommend for a civilian to start with in the NG until he became qualified (E3-E4 if I'm not mistaken)?
Thanks for any info anyone might have,
