choices

[sfvtbss]

Hello I need some help I have to choices I’m looking into joining the national guards special forces but California doesn’t seem to have the 18x program for non-prior. Colorado on the other hand does ( I wouldn’t mind moving out there) so should I stay in California wait my time and join sf old fashion way or move and throw my hat in the ring which would you guys recommend

Would it look better going threw selection if i did a few years in the conventional army?

I highly recommend utilizing the search button to its maximum extent prior to posting oft-asked questions.

And... you say you have searched thoroughly, in the two weeks you have been here, I'll have WetDog give you a test!

You have no idea of what you are talking about. And I don't mean that you are full of BS, but literally you have no clue what you just asked. You have bad poop, and somebody is possibly pulling on your leg somewhere.

Use the search feature extensively. I would probably start with 18x.......But thats just me.

I've been doing a lot more searching since I posted and all the posts I've found for California is either prior services or dated. . so I'm not sure exactly what you mean my poops bad. I'm guessing some of the information I have is wrong but not sure what part I will continue to keep searching. .

If you'll look at the list of threads under this forum, you'll notice the first two are a 'Sticky' with an SF Moderator listed - 18C4V. The stickies are titled:

• 19th Group POC and locations
• Looking for volunteers to join 19th SFG in California

A reasonably intelligent seeker of information concerning the 19th SFGA and its units located in CA would assume that 18C4V is in the 19th SFGA and associated with the unit in CA, that a look at his Public Profile would confirm that supposition, and that asking his advice via PM would be both far more beneficial and far less embarrassing than posting a public 'shotgun blast' query.

In summary, you have received an initial NO-GO at this station.

Now, try again...and good luck.

I did read the stickies but since they were asking for e4-e7 and i am non prior service i don’t fit that bill also i called the Los Alamitos sf unit but they sent me to call the northern California sf recruiter and i was told that they were not taking non prior service(same thing my recruiter told me) i tried to cover all my bases before posting but missed a couple ie pm the mod for this section

Since it's no big deal to move and you want to join Special Forces in the shortest time, why not go active duty 18X and serve your time in an AD Group.

PS, you may want to proofread your posts and capitalize Special Forces next time.
