I'm a support guy, how do I land a job in SOF?

[DA SWO]

The problem is, some people think SOF is only the national-level SpecOps organizations and not the whole SOF network. And others tend to only think that "SOF" means the ops types, not everyone in the organization.

Also, I don't think CA and PSYOP have anything for their enablers either.

As an additional thought, SF doesn't have to take what they get, they allow it to happen. They could stand up a program if they wanted to, even if it were only at the Group level. My understanding is that has happened from time to time. But you will never be as good as you can be if you're playing pick-up games with your support troops instead of selecting pros.

I thought CA and PsyOps were enablers?

Depending on the mission, anyone can be an enabler.

But CA and PSYOP, at least on active duty, are under the USASOC umbrella and therefore SOF in their own rights.
