First off, I am not a SF Officer but I am an Officer.
But I have a point to make about several posts in these forums by High School Students, ROTC Cadets, West Point Cadets, and Fellow LTs.
As an Officer or a future one, you should be able to accomplish simple tasks in life. For example, utilizing Google or basic information gathering skills. 80 percent of the rabble that is posted by HS students, ROTC, WP, and LTs is something that any basic Google search would pull up. As I delve into these forums there is so much great and useful information to be gathered and processed, but it is randomly interrupted by some 17-21 year old that ask the most annoying questions. Agreed many of these questions I once also wondered about, but had the College level thought process of looking it up. Do for yourself before you ask others to do for you. It doesn't take much to use Google, which will pull up all the basic information from GoArmy about the SF timeline. Additionally I found about 10 other sites that give very good unclassified information about the path and all admin questions, restrictions, and basic qualifications to go to SFAS/SFQS. Asking group members/ former group members basic admin questions would prove to me you don't have what it takes to be an Officer. Let alone one in charge of Combat Arms Soldiers. And not even close to the ability to lead a Group of Individuals who has about the same level or in most cases more Intelligence than you. Those same individuals who have 10 times the experience in doctrinal & combat training and most likely are at least at the same college level degree as you. So please don't waste any ones time asking basic admin type questions.
Go to webpage below and read everything!
Then...Ask unanswered questions that are intelligent that don't embarrass you and me.

Thank you for your Time. I will jump off my 6 Foot Soap Box now!
