Thank you ZonieDiver, that actually cleared up quite a bit.

Just the fact of getting into SOF, let alone SF, (or Rangers, first thing I'll be looking into is Option 40, mainly because of the "no quit" attitude they put into you from day one, that, and Signal Guys in 75th seem quite high speed lol)

I graduated as Head Crew Chief of Nursing. State Registered Nursing Assistant, and Certified Home Health Aide. but now working Logistics (unloading the trucks, and maintain distribution of supplies/materials across the complex I work) part-time while attending school this fall for an ATA in Electronics Technology, with secondary set in Computer Information Systems-Network Technician.

Back at Job Corps I had an opportunity to apply for RSM Manager for the regular side of the REC, but it would have ment a longer commitment, (one I had initially finished, and was ready to move on)

When I get a "break" I'll be looking into an NREMT-B course on top of my regular studies. Even if it's just something to have on hand. (Better to have, and not need it, then need it, and not have it. Ya know?) All I have to do is attend 40 more hours of schooling, and I can already challenge the NREMT-B exam. (JC training for ya, they go above and beyond what's needed, but then, it's kinda bad, because when JC students go into the Civ Workforce, we end up with elitist attitudes vs the three week wonders, whether or not that's good, is still up to debate)

So now I'm just keeping myself situated, and saving money.

And I understand the road is going to be long. But if it's what I need to do in order to Enlist, it's what I'll do. (I've already waited two years, another two wont really make much of a difference to me)
