So, what you are advocating here is to look at the research, and based on the document of which course was easiest (or where the candidates were most successful) THEN CHOOSE the MOS you want to train in?
If that's the case, that is one of the most keen demonstrations that you do not have a clue how Special Forces Soldiers think that I have ever come across.
There are reasons that we excell at our chosen profession moreso than any other subset of Soldiers in the Army-
We do not care about statistics
We do not care how hard it is
We do not look for the "easy" anything
Finally, I am going to borrow a phrase that has been used here before...
SF is not a choice, it is not something that we "thought we wanted to do"...it was a calling. A calling that has huge challenges attached to it. And that challenge is one of the reasons it called to each of us. It is the thing that sets us apart.
Please, feel free to choose the easy route with as few cobblestones on your perfect roadway as you can manage. That way, should you make it to SFAS, it will be that much easier for you to take that same road right back where you came from.
