I decided to add a little more information. I am currently in the Marines serving as an F/18 Engine Tech. Stationed in Southern California. I am preparing everyday and almost every hour for the initial selection process for MARSOC. One problem I seem to be facing is that I picked up rank a little too soon and may not be able to go since the new requirement is a less than 6 months as a Sergeant. I have to re-enlisted yet so I am trying to use that to my advantage to get in. At this point I would demote myself at a chance to try for the elite teams.
