Hi all. I’m currently an active duty E4 in the Navy with plans to transfer to the Army ideally under an 18x contract upon the end of my EAOS.

Hi Mestan,

May I ask how old you are and what resources have you used to get info/ begin processing a transfer to 18-X?

I just turned 21 and reached out to my chain of command, my command career counselor, local army recruiters and directly emailed the address listed on the special operations recruiting website. The email got me the most accurate/ up to date info and now I’m just waiting until my EAOS to start the transfer process with the local recruiters. I also did a lot of lurking on here and reddit to kinda patch together as much info as I could.

Thank you for the reply. Anxiously waiting to hear good news about obtaining an 18-X contract.
What is your current rate?

I’m an OS. Definitely not bad at all but just not where my heart is at.
