Only speaking from Active Duty experience (of course).

But if SF is what you want and you feel this is where you need to be in life. Then this is your decision. You dont move somewhere b/c "the girlfriend" says its okay. If she understands and knows that this is what you want then she should be moving with you regardless. Special Forces is a full time MOS, fulltime lifestyle. ( from reading threads and forums) You need to be in the mindset of go and non stop at all times. And if you are stopping now b/c of a a girlfriend and child. Then you need to reroute your choices to something else.

And that goes for anything military. Even if you are just infantryman on active duty, you will be in and out of field training. And not to mention the deployments. Iraq as slowed down, but Afghanistan has not. Stop ho humming and do what's right for you. In the long run it will be you kickcing your own ass for not doing what you want.

And you would not be able to take your daughter if you are on active duty. You can not join Active duty as a single parent. Escpecially, if you are going into Special Forces.
