decision time...my $0.02...if you want to go SF, i would advise getting in a related MOS...11B/C, 12B, 91B, 05B...i was a 12B in my pre-SF life and found the work agreeable...

an observation, take it for what it's worth...you seem hung up on cop-type stuff...that isn't really what SF is all about...if you wish to pursue a military career in CI/CID or whatever, go for it...your service will be appreciated by all here...nothing wrong with going down that path, whatsoever...

another opinion of mine...i had a battalion commander who was an MP while i was finishing up my career in PSYOP...diametrically opposed personalities...MPs enforce order, SF (at least me) try to find away to work around the existing order in denied territory...working toward the same goal, for the same country from entirely different perspectives...

this question isn't meant to insult as much as it is meant to stimulate your thought process...do you really have any idea what Special Forces units do in an operational environment? really? it's not so much about kicking down doors as it is building rapport...

once again, my opinion, worth every penny you paid for it...good luck...
