Thats the problem, right now the Army (USAAC) is trying to shove all the prior service applicants into the Reserves, so literally the only job for active duty open to the ranks E-1 through E-4 is 18x, and E-5 and above is closed to all jobs. They also will not allow administrative reductions of rank like they did in the past, so even if a guy got out as an E-5, but would rather be SF than keep his rank at enlistment, he can't get the reduction.

As a side note, this is only on the active duty side, I would imagine the NG SF groups would have much more leeway with what they can get in.
