I decided against the Corps, because the Army has more to offer and they have a better sniper division.
So, I'm going to be Army Special Forces... Ugh... So much training though!!!
Just in case anyone's interested, here's the training courses:
Quote:
Below you will find the training path. Individuals without prior military
service must follow all steps. Individuals with prior service already
holding a primary specialty in the 11 series (Infantry) will skip step 2 in
the training path. Individuals with prior service that are airborne
qualified will skip step 3 in the training path. Individuals with prior
service that are both Infantry and Airborne qualified will enlist with an
assignment to Fort Bragg, NC, skipping steps 2 and 3 in the training path.
Individuals must complete each step before proceeding to the next. NOTE:
Must obtain an electrocardiogram upon arrival at the Special Operations
Preparatory & Conditioning Course.
Training path at Fort Benning, Georgia

1. In-processing through Reception Battalion. (7-10 days)
2. Attend Infantry School (18 weeks) - Must achieve an Army Physical Fitness
Test (APFT) score of 229 with a minimum of 60 points in each event upon
completion of training.
3. Airborne School (3 weeks)
Training path at Fort Bragg, North Carolina
4. Special Operations Preparatory and Conditioning (2 weeks) - This course
is two weeks in duration, consisting of physical conditioning, land
navigation, and small unit tactics training. Individuals will be required to
meet Special Forces (SF) selection and eligibility criteria.
5. Special Forces Assessment and Selection Course ( 3 weeks)
6. Army Common Leader Training (2 to 3 weeks)
7. Small Unit Tactics (7 weeks)
8. Special Forces Qualification Course
Phase I SFQC (7 weeks)
Phase II - training in specific specialty (12-56 weeks)
9. SERE school ( Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) ( 3 weeks)
10. Basic Military Language Course ( 16-24 weeks) Language will be dictated
based on the needs of the Special Operations Command at the time of your
attendance.
11.During this training you will attend the Primary Leadership Course
and Basic Noncommissioned Officer Course. This training is one month in
length for each phase. The total training time to complete all of this can
be range from 1 to 2 1/2 years.
I am going to get a membership to 24 Hour Fitness and work out for 3+ hours every single day for 6 months before I enlist.
Anyway, I know nobody here cares, I just thought I'd post it anyway.
Again... Ugh so much training!

Maybe tonight we'll fly so far away... We'll be lost before the dawn...
