B Santos is not alone in his endevor; I too am in the process of applying for a move from the USMC infantry to Army SF. In the last couple of months as I have begun to compile the package, I have come to find out that not only is the USMC-officer-to-Army-SF pipeline unheard of, it is not even all that unusual. The officers that I know of who have attempted and/or completed the transfer process have all strongly considered the MARSOC option. For one reason or another, more than one officer has choosen to forgo MARSOC for Army SF. Reasoning for this can quickly spiral into diatribe and is not appropriate for this thread, so I won't start that one off. Suffice it to say that most of these officers are not inexperienced glory-seekers who think the grass is always greener, but rather are fairly-seasoned young officers (to the extent that there is such a thing) with several combat deployments who seek to serve in a professional, competent unit that influences operational and national level objectives. All of these men (that I know) have been infantry officers.
