Crip: Thanks for your reply. The reason I ask is because I'd be interested in becoming a Military Intelligence Officer if indeed I am overestimating my mental and physical capabilities and fail 18x. Perhaps it takes heart more than anything.

I do have one other question I can't find a straight answer to. I'll be graduating college in a year and I plan on either attending OCS or enlisting 18x. On goarmy.com it states "Applicants applying for Active Army OCS will serve three years upon commissioning."

Now, if my interest lies in becoming an SF Officer, I'm told one can either go through 18x first then put in an application for OCS, or, one can go through OCS first, then, with an Option 40, go 18x. Assuming the latter is correct, can anyone give me a timeline on how long it would take to go 18x after OCS? Would I "try out" as soon as OCS is completed?

If anyone has an idea, or can give me some pointers as to what the best routes may be, I'd be grateful.
