I am a senior in high school, 18 years old. I have been dead set on joining the military after high school for the past few years. I wanted to do AF Pararescue at first but after talking to a recruiter he said it's extremely difficult for him to get a spot. Now I want to do Army SF for sure. After researching a lot on the subject, it looks like they are always giving out 18x contracts. My only problem with the 18x is that you must be at least 20 by the time you graduate OSUT.
Now, I want to join as soon as possible and leave as soon possible. So my other proposal is that I join now, leave soon then gain experience until I am an e4 then submit a packet for SFAS.
The mos I have been thinking of is 19D. It looks really cool, exciting. But I want something that would best prepare for SF.
So would waiting the extra year to train and prepare then join with 18x be better than joining now as a 19D to gain experience in the Army and submit a packet later on as e4? Thanks.
