Hello everyone,
I'm PS NG 11b and was in the process of getting an 18X contract. I was DQ'ed at MEPS for PRK vision surgery (they said I have unstable vision. I'm 20/20 and I see just fine...), which meant I needed a waiver to get back in. Per MEPS policy, you cannot get an Airborne/Ranger/SF contract if you require a medical waiver... so 18X no longer became an option for me.
I considered trying out for 5/19th here in CA but I just missed their SFRE and nobody knows when the next SFRE will be... So I decided to get back in the Guard, not as 11B but re-classing into 35P. I'm currently working with a recruiter to get this going.
Also, I've read the entire SOT-A thread and it was super interesting. I would LOVE to try out but there's no SOT-A here...
With that being said, I respectfully ask all 35P's here on this board who can share their experiences and or insight about this MOS.
-What should I be doing to prepare for the MOS school (other than PT)?
-What is expected from me and what can I do to make myself a good 35P?
-Will I come across a chance to be part of the SOCOM community some day as a 35P?
Thank you all in advance.
