They should be back as Majors to be SF Company Commanders, Battalion/Group Ops Officers, or Battalion Executive Officers.

Along with what TR already mentioned, guys can go be O/Cs or do other work at the Combat Training Centers, fill other staff positions, attend advanced civil schooling, attend Naval Postgraduate School, go teach at USMA, be a liaison with other countries' armed forces, or a host of other assignments while waiting to go to Command & General Staff College. If the officer decides to move to one of the other functional area tracks, there's a host of schooling and 'outside SF' assignments; however, these folks will not likely return to SF branch for future SF command assignments.
