If I can add my .02. I started out my military career as an 11B straight into the Rangers. Did me a lot of good there learning the infantry (Ranger) way. Lots of tactical expertise there, a vast wealth of knowledge. I left there and went straight in to the LRSC community. Meshing Infantry and Communications into one. Served in several different LRSC units before trying out for SF. I believe with my Infantry background and knowledge of radios from being in LRSC units made me a well rounded individual and made SFAS and the Q easy for me. So my advice is if you can get some time in the Infantry and get your hands on some radios do that first. As many of the PS’s have already said (here, and many other threats) get some real Army time under your belt then try out for SF and bring something else to the table besides your youth.

Again just my .02.
