Contemplating 19d VS 18X

[beardedman]

Hello QP's I noticed their wasn't much discussion about going active duty as 19d then putting in a packet for SFAS. Would 19D be a somewhat better choice to thrive in before special forces. Seeing as how the MOS focuses heavily on Land Navigation, Dismounted Patrols and Reconaissance aswell as field craft and other skills. Or would going through 18x be good. I know I must decide myself what the best path is but I just wanted honest feedback from a QP perspective. I have learned a lot from this site and am currently working hard to get into shape regardless.
