Whichever you choose, if it is not on your contract, it will be a couple of years in the conventional forces before you get to try out for SEAL or SF.
What makes you want to be either one?

Well, theres a lot of pros and cons for both. At first I didn't even know what SEALs did, and then I just started hearing about some of their missions and thought that sounds like something I would like to do. I never really paid too much attention to the other SOF units but then just out of curiousity I read about Special Forces and was kind of surprised at how tough it was.
They are both great in their own ways, and it's kind of hard to get a real picture of what they do and how good they are at it since most of their missions are classified.
One of the things that scared me away from Special Forces in the beginning was that you have to get "selected." I didn't like the idea that I could give it all I got, never give up, and still not make it.
I also like that you can do Special Forces in the National Guard, so I could still live here and maybe take some college classes when I have time.
Sorry I kind of ranted on. Long story short-I want to fight for my country, particularly terrorism.
