Tactrack:

You need to talk to a 19th Group recruiter who deals with officer accessions. Try calling the Group S-1. As an AD SF officer applicant, you would be SOL because of your year group.

SWCS will pretty much train anyone who the Guard sends and meets the requirements.

The two processes are separate.

AFAIK, you would have to drill with the NQPs till they are satisfied with your skills, then TDY to Bragg for SFAS. You would return for the SFQC 18A track, which with language training, would mean that you would be at Bragg for at least 9 months, if you are given credit for SERE.

Once you were qualified, you would return to your unit and BPT spend several months at the time deployed for the forseeable future. If you do not have a job that will let you do that, you may want to consider another line of work.

You will not be an SF Warrant Officer (180A) without a significant amount of time as an SF enlisted soldier.

There are a number of support jobs in an SF Group, but all require MOS qualification in those jobs.

Good luck. Let us know what the recruiter says.
