Hello. Well before I ask my question I'll like to tell you a little about myself.
Well I'm (recently) a student in a vocational school (Job Corps). At the moment
I'm getting in the habit of doing cardio/areobics/calisthetics work-outs. My main
goal is to enlist in the US Army & earning that Green Beret. But before I'll even
consider going through the pipeline (because I truly believe that an SF Soldier
is "THE ALPHA SOLDIER" and therefore [I believe] he should have a "pretty"
solid base of experience within the conventional forces. So my "plan" is to take
a good three years of "learning the ropes". I would love to go through various
units such as [in order] 3rd ID (Mech), 1st Bn. 504th PIR 1st Brgd. 82nd ABN.
DIV., 1st [Ranger] Bn. 75th Ranger Regiment (ABN), & then [if possible] through
all the SF Groups. [In order] 5th, 10th, 1st, SFD-K, 7th & 3rd.)
Well my question is [nothing "important"] about the Additional Skills Identifiers
& the Special Qualification Identifiers. I mean are they simiular to the CMF's &
MOS's. Ex. The SQI=CMF & ASI=MOS.
Another ex. lets say *W7-- Special Forces Underwater Operations which is an
ASI & *W Special Forces Advanced Reconnaissance, Target Analysis and
Exploitation Techniques which is an SQI in "cojutes"
Another question is 11B has the ASI of *W7 & *W8 (the ones I'ved mentioned
above). Now isn't that for SF only. Or they mean if an 11B is in the 75th
Ranger Regiment (ABN).
I appoligize for this being really long.
