I was a NG 11B with the hopes of making it to the 19th group. I realized that the better option for me would be to go AD under and 18x contract. Here's how I went about doing it. I went to my local active duty recruiter, obtained my DD 368 (conditional release), turned it into my readiness NCO. He sent it up and I'm told it had to be approved by the Battalion S1. That took about two and a half weeks before it was sent back and I had it approved and in hand. I turned it into the AD recruiter and set up my time to re do my physical and sign my contract at MEPS. My only problem I ran into was that because of the budget cuts, I have to wait till the next fiscal year before I can leave. No big deal, that's an additional 12 weeks to train. Point is, it is possible, I did this no more than 5 weeks ago. Hopefully this helps. Please feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.
Special Forces Questions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a forum where civilians can "ask" the Special Forces soldiers past and present "Special Forces" related questions.
Those questions are then answered by Special Forces soldiers, period.
Questions asked by the general public should NOT be answered by the "general" public.
If you do not have the title of "Quiet Professional" you may ask a question, but leave the "answers" to the QP's.
